HONG KONG � Police in Hong Kong filed murder charges against the former
father-in-law and brother-in-law of a model and influencer whose body
parts were found in a refrigerator and a skull believed to be hers in a
pot at a rural house.

Authorities also arrested Abby Choi's ex-husband on Saturday and charged
him with murder on Sunday night, Superintendent Alan Chung said.

He will appear in court Monday alongside three family members: Choi's
former father-in-law and his eldest son were charged with murder, while
her former mother-in-law faces a count of perverting the course of
justice, police said in a statement. The names of those accused have not
been released.

Choi, 28, had financial disputes involving tens of millions of Hong Kong
dollars with her ex-husband and his family, Chung said earlier, adding
that "some people" were unhappy with how Choi handled her financial
assets.

Choi was a model and influencer who shared her glamorous life of photo
shoots and fashion shows with more than 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Dressed in a tulle floor-length gown, she had just attended a Dior show at
Paris Fashion Week.

Her last post was a week ago, featuring a photoshoot she had done with
L'Officiel Monaco, a fashion publication.

Choi had been missing several days when police discovered her dismembered
body and documents on Friday. The remains were stored in a refrigerator in
the home in the village of Tai Po, a suburban part of Hong Kong closer to
the border with mainland China.

At Sunday's news briefing, Chung said a young woman's skull believed to be
Choi's was found in one of the cooking pots authorities seized, along with
human ribs, hair, and tissue. Forensic pathologists found a small number
of human bones in a second pot, he added.

"There's a hole on the right side rear on the skull, so the pathologist
believes that that should be the fatal attack on the victim," he said.

Chung said Choi was believed to have been attacked in a car and was
unconscious when she arrived at the house. Police were still trying to
find out the exact time of death and locate her hands and torso.

On Sunday, police also arrested another woman believed to have been in an
affair with the ex-husband's father for allegedly assisting the other
suspects. Chung said the woman had rented the house together with the
father, as well as another place to hide the ex-husband.
