Alex and his family members appeared in court on Feb. 28, public broadcaster RTHK reported via CNN. RTHK further stated that the defendants, who were all denied bail by the Kowloon City Magistrates’ Court, have not yet entered their pleas and the case was adjourned until May.

Police first began investigating Abby’s disappearance when she was reported missing Feb. 21, according to the AP who cited a report filed with the Hong Kong Police. Her remains were found just days later.

Choi was an influencer who documented her glamorous life of photo shoots and fashion shows on Instagram. In her social media profile, Abby wrote that she was “embracing every moment of life.”

Her last post, from mid-February, featured a photoshoot she had done with L’Officiel Monaco, a fashion publication.

“From Hong Kong to the cover of L’Officiel Monaco, my journey as a style icon continues,” she shared in her Feb. 14 post. “Grateful for this recognition and the continued support along the way.”

Before that, Choi celebrated her feature in Vogue China by offering her 121,000 Instagram followers a sneak preview into her latest photos. “Like what you like,” she wrote in November 2022. “Love what you love.”
