Read about this earlier today. I can understand dismemberment and disposal to a degree, as a way of getting rid of a body, but not this. It's some truly gruesome, Jeffrey Dahmer, Katherine Knight, Marcus Peter Volke level depravity at work, here. Who the hell cooks someone?

Yeah, that info was in the ABC (Australia) article I linked, too. I suspect they're going to find all the small bones of her hands in there, as well, if they didn't put them through one of the mincers instead. Good grief, that's awful to type.

It’s unimaginable - especially that it was more than one person involved! It almost seems like an honour killing kind of thing…

As far as I can tell, at this early stage, this is pure murder for profit and revenge, with the whole family in on it. More like Pike County - the killing of the Rhoden family - than an honour killing. MOO

After Model’s Gruesome Killing, Suspicion Falls on Ex-Husband and His Family

Abby Choi, known for her glamorous Instagram posts, was reported missing on Wednesday. On Friday, the Hong Kong police found her remains, dismembered and incomplete.

www.nytimes.com

The victim, Abby Choi, 28, had appeared in the pages of fashion magazines and enjoyed a wide following on social media, where she posted images of herself attending fashion events around the world dressed in couture. A young mother, she had divorced and remarried; her ex-husband and members of his family are suspects in her death.
Ms. Choi was reported missing early Wednesday. Superintendent Alan Chung of the Hong Kong Police Department, who is leading the investigation, said that on Friday officers had discovered her partial, dismembered remains, along with a meat grinder and an electric saw, in a seaside residence that the father of Ms. Choi’s ex-husband had begun renting this month in Lung Mei Village.

Ms. Choi’s former father-in-law and brother-in-law, who worked as Ms. Choi’s chauffeur, were arrested on Friday and charged with murder on Sunday.

Ms. Choi’s former mother-in-law was charged with perverting the course of justice.

Okay so I just read/watched this and I am very sad that my hunch about them dismembering and then cooking her remains was right. I don't understand though how people who seem super normal go from needing money to that. That is a very fast and efficient escalation in MO. Like, have they done that before?? Does the family have a history of criminal stuff?

All the stuff they found at the house takes a lot of money and pre-planning, the tools the pots and the rain gear, and the plastic are all stuff people don't know to get unless they have either done this before or planned this accordingly. But if they did plan then why leave all the stuff out in the house and keep all her cards ... and parts.. All that planning for a such stupid slip-up in the end??

I assumed they hadn't finished. If they hadn't found the location for a few more weeks, there might not have been much left visible to the naked eye.

MOO

Good point, any idea how the police got tipped off about the house in the first place?? Was it just a standard search of the house where the victim lived thing or did a witness report it?? Because I can't find who reported her missing, the family couldn't have because of them doing it so who reported her ???

She had a current de facto husband, and 2 more kids with him. They should surely have reported her missing. But no, it isn't clear from the reporting.

the he## did I walk into? can't even imagine the suffering for those who truly loved this woman

I'm noping out of this one.

They got her there in a car, right? Maybe she had her phone on her. Maybe they were able to track pings and narrow down the location. The place was rented by her ex's father's mistress, right? I bet they thought that was clever. Thought the police wouldn't make the connection. All the police would have needed was a name linked back to the family with a grudge, and bam.

MOO

I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to not only kill someone, but then to put their body through a meat grinder..
