Before her murder and dismemberment, Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi appeared to maintain a close relationship with the family of her former husband, who is now a murder suspect, but relations soured over a multimillion-dollar dispute.
As Hong Kong police continue to piece together details and traces of body parts belonging to the mutilated fashion model, local media reports and social media sources revealed that the 28-year-old continued to support her former husband and his family financially after their divorce.
Ms Choi, who had a reported net worth of around HK$100 million (S$17.2 million) and hailed from a wealthy family with business dealings in China, also arranged for her former in-laws and two children to live in a luxury apartment. She also helped her former brother-in-law purchase a home.
Four suspects have been taken into custody. They are Ms Choi's 28-year-old former husband Alex Kwong, his elder brother Anthony, 31, and their parents. Ms Choi married Alex Kwong when she was 18.
Ms Choi's former father-in-law, 65, and Anthony have been jointly charged with murder, while her former mother-in-law, 63, has been charged with one count of perverting the course of justice. All three are set to appear in a local court on Monday.
