Abby Choi Murder Trial Timeline: from Gruesome Discovery to Current Hearing
The execution of the plot began in early February 2023, when Kwong Kau rented a remote village house in Lung Mei Tsuen, Tai Po. The unit was deliberate in its isolation and was equipped not with furniture, but with industrial butcher gear: an electric saw, meat grinders, face shields, and tarpaulins hung across the walls to contain biological splatter.
- February 21, 2023 (14:15 HKT): Anthony Kwong, acting as Choi’s personal driver, collected her from Kadoorie Hill to pick up her daughter from school. Forensic evidence later indicated that Choi was incapacitated inside a seven-seater vehicle while transit was routed toward the Tai Po village house.
- February 22, 2023: When Choi failed to arrive at the school, Chris Tam and his parents contacted police to report her missing. Anthony Kwong initially misled investigators, claiming Choi had voluntarily exited the vehicle at an arbitrary intersection.
- February 24, 2023: Detectives from the Kowloon West Regional Crime Unit pierced through the false timelines. Officers executed a search warrant on the Lung Mei Tsuen property, uncovering dismembered human remains, identity cards, credit cards belonging to Choi, and industrial processing tools.
- February 25, 2023: Hong Kong marine police intercepted Alex Kwong at the Tung Chung pier on Lantau Island as he attempted to board an illicit speedboat to mainland China. He was apprehended carrying HK$500,000 in cash and luxury timepieces worth over HK$4 million, including Patek Philippe references.
