Font size

The former brother-in-law of slain Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung has admitted to erasing evidence of her killing by cleaning the car used to transport her body to a village house where she was dismembered.

Anthony Kwong Kong-kit told the High Court on Thursday that he felt “safer” after wiping down the Toyota Alphard seven-seater as he had “complicated” feelings after his brother strangled Choi during a violent quarrel. He claimed to have cleaned the vehicle even though there was no blood in it.

Giving evidence for a fourth day in the murder trial, the defendant also highlighted what he retrospectively thought was his cowardly and irrational behaviour, saying he should have called police instead of disposing of his former sister-in-law’s corpse in secret.

Open Questions

  • What will be the final verdict for the defendants?

alert! Tempting advertisements are actually traps, and high-paying recruitment turns into a car rental trap

Police in Jiading, Shanghai, uncovered a fraud case in which the recruitment of freight drivers was turned into a car rental trap. Mr. Shen, a job seeker, was induced to sign a car rental contract after applying. He only earned 140 yuan for half a day. If he quit, he would have to pay more than 25,000 yuan. The police found that three vest companies, including "Jieluxing" and "Zhuangduoduo", were all controlled by Du and had no actual logistics business. The main funds came from car rental fees, deposits and liquidated damages paid by drivers. So far, more than 70 drivers have been deceived, with a total amount of more than 3 million yuan involved, and 18 criminal suspects have been subject to criminal coercive measures.
