Major update as ex-husband of Abby Choi, 28, arrested after model found dismembered in fridge as father-in-law also held

From: The Sun

THE former husband of a young model has been arrested after her body was found brutally dismembered, according to reports.

Cops are understood to suspect Abby Choi's ex-father-in-law masterminded the horror killing after parts of her body were left in a refrigerator at a rented home in Hong Kong.

Abby, 28, was an up-and-coming model who had graced a magazine cover in Monaco only this month.

Police made the gruesome discovery in a house in the village of Lung Mei, a beachside village around a half-hour drive from the city centre.

After they broke into a house being rented by her ex-father-in-law on Friday afternoon, cops discovered two legs in the refrigerator, as well as the victim's ID card, credit cards, and other belongings, Police Superintendent Alan Chung said.

Following a city-wide manhunt, it is understood cops have arrested Abby's ex-husband, with his parents and brother - the model's former in-laws - also detained, reports South China Morning Post.

A source told the outlet her former husband, 28, was detained on the waterfront in Tung Chung on Saturday and could have been waiting for a speedboat to escape.

The insider also claimed it is believed Abby's former father-in-law, a cop, was the mastermind behind the murder, which police have described as "premeditated" and "well-planned".

Authorities believe Abby had financial disputes with her ex-husband and his family over a property costing 100 million Hong Kong dollars (£10.7m), which she had planned to sell.

Chung added that "some people" were reportedly unhappy with how Abby handled her financial assets.

Police said that the house where Abby's body parts were found had been rented by her former father-in-law just a few weeks ago.

Chung added: "Police also have found that the flat was arranged by cold-blooded killers meticulously.

"Tools that are used to dismember human bodies were found in the flat, including meat grinders, chainsaws, long raincoats, gloves, and masks."

He also said the house had only recently been rented and was unfurnished.

Police said only that the woman was a 28-year-old model with the surname "Choi", but she has since been identified by SCMP as Abby.

Sources say the model, who appeared on the cover of fashion magazine L'Officiel Monaco this month, was last seen alive on Tuesday in Tai Po, a short drive from the house where her remains were found.

Cops began the search for her on Thursday.

The news has been greeted with horror in Hong Kong.

Only last week, Abby shared a picture of her magazine cover with her almost 90,000 Instagram followers.

She wrote: "From Hong Kong to the cover of L'Official Monaco, my journey as a style icon continues.

"Grateful for this recognition and the continued support along the way."

Earlier this month, she shared a video of herself at the Dior Fashion Show in Paris.
