Who is Abby Choi's ex-husband Alex Kwong?... (The Sun)

THE partial remains of Abby Choi were discovered by police in a rented house in Hong Kong.The model was found in a flat rented by her former father-in.

They towed away a van which they think was used in the murder of the model and influencer. Her former husband Alex was arrested on February 25, 2023, as he was trying to flee to surrounding islands in a speedboat. Police believe the property was rented for the pure intention of being a butchery site for the murder victim. The £7.6m purchase is thought to have led to a dispute between her and the Kwong family as she sought to sell the property. Abby was believed to have a net worth of around £10.6m, which allowed her to bankroll her ex-husband and his family. The model was found in a flat rented by her former father-in-law.
