The mother of slain Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung has claimed her former in-laws’ family “didn’t pay a penny” towards her two grandchildren’s living expenses, while alleging the model’s ex-mother-in-law took up to HK$80 million (US$10.2 million) from the deceased for investment.

Testifying for the prosecution, Cheung Yin-fa on Monday recalled her encounters with Jenny Li Sui-heung, who is being tried in the District Court trial for allegedly obstructing a police investigation into her son, Alex Kwong Kong-chi, who was Choi’s ex-husband, after the model went missing on February 21, 2023. Li has denied the charge.
Parts of her dismembered body were found in a three-storey village house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen village on February 24 of that year. She was 28.
The 30-year-old Alex Kwong, his 67-year-old father Kwong Kau and 34-year-old brother Anthony Kwong Kong-kit are awaiting a murder trial behind bars.
Li, 65, was charged with perverting the course of justice for allegedly urging Alex Kwong to abscond, knowing he was wanted by police for a 2015 theft case involving HK$6.3 million in gold and jewellery.

The prosecution also accused Li of misleading the theft investigation and asking Cheung to remain silent if interviewed by detectives.
