Abby Choi’s Relatives Plead Guilty to Body Disposal, Face Murder Trial

In a high‑profile Hong Kong case, former husband and brother‑in‑law of slain socialite Abby Choi Tin‑fung have pleaded guilty to illegally disposing of her dismembered body. The two men will still stand trial with their father on murder charges, as prosecutors prepare to open the case on Monday. The High Court has empanelled a nine‑member jury—seven men and two women—to hear evidence in the eight‑week trial. The proceedings will examine the circumstances of Choi’s death and the alleged disposal of her remains, with the defendants’ guilty pleas on the disposal charges not absolving them of the murder allegations.
