A friend’s written testimony, read by prosecutors at the High Court, said Abby Choi’s former husband asked to borrow a vehicle in late January 2023 because his own vehicle needed repairs and he needed transport for his children. The murder trial continued on October 26, 2026.
School staff testified that Choi’s daughter was still waiting to be collected at about 3:15pm on February 21, 2023, after her 3pm finish. Asked who else might collect her, the child answered, “Grandma”. Her grandmother later called from Kwun Tong, saying traffic would delay her, and arrived at about 4:10pm. Staff checked her pick-up pass before letting her take the child.
A Government Laboratory senior chemist told the court that curved, widely spaced marks on bone were consistent with an electric saw; marks from a hand saw would be straighter and closer together. He said soft tissue might not retain clear tool marks. Asked by the defence whether a transparent plastic box would be used to conceal a body, he said he had no experience loading a body into one.
On how the pelvis was separated, the chemist said a circular saw, a hammer-like impact or a larger knife were possible causes. The marks did not establish which had caused it.
