During a tearful appearance in court, the former brother-in-law of the 28-year-old victim testified against his younger sibling, the ex-husband of the deceased.
The shocking revelation was made on 11 Nov in Hong Kong Court, as reported by Need To Know.
He took the stand on the 35th day of the high-profile trial surrounding the murder and dismemberment of Choi – which took place in Feb 2023.
Her former husband, Alex Kwong, 31, former father-in-law Kwong Kau, 68, and former brother-in-law Anthony Kwong, 35, have all pleaded not guilty to murder.
According to reports from the trial, Anthony, with tears in his eyes, answered “younger brother” to defence counsel Trevor Beel, after repeatedly being asked who killed her.
Kwong Kau reportedly became flushed in the dock and also wiped tears away – whilst Alex appeared calm.
Choi’s death took place on 21 Feb – whilst Anthony denied killing her, he allegedly stated “I don’t know” when asked if he knew she would be killed that day.
The court heard how Choi was attacked whilst riding in a white seven-seater vehicle.
He was asked again if he knew about this, to which Anthony reportedly said “I don’t know”.
Whilst stating his younger brother fatally attacked Choi, he stressed there was no plan to kill her.
During the trial, it was revealed that a meat grinder, a soup pot and a storage container had been purchased days before the death.
It was claimed that these items were partly for the father’s new home and a friend’s shop.
Before the trial began in late September, the brothers admitted to preventing the lawful burial of Choi.
Kwong Kau, a retired police sergeant, also pleaded guilty to this charge midway through the trial.
Prosecutors have alleged that the crime stemmed from a family dispute over the proposed sale of a £6.8m flat at the upscale Kadooria residential complex in Ho Man Tin.
The registered owner, Kwong Kau, allegedly resented Choi for trying to sell – after she originally bought it for her two kids with Alex.
The prosecution alleges that the defendants showed significant pre-planning by buying a wide variety of items from 4 Feb to 17 Feb in preparation for the murder.
The trial continues before Deputy Judge Brian Keith and an eight-member jury.
