Authorities also detained the woman’s ex-husband on Saturday and charged him with murder on Sunday night, Superintendent Alan Chung said. All four will appear in court on Monday.

The grisly case came to light when police discovered Choi’s body and documents on Friday, after she had been missing for several days. The remains were inside a fridge in a house in the rural village of Tai Po, a suburban area of ​​Hong Kong closest to the border with China.

Choi’s remains were also found in a cooking pot

At Sunday’s press conference, Chung said authorities had found the skull of a young woman believed to belong to Choi in one of the pots they seized, along with several ribs, hair and human remains.

In another pot, forensic pathologists also discovered a small number of human bones, he added, «There is a hole in the right back of the skull, so the pathologist believes that this must be the fatal attack on the victim.»

The model’s ex-father-in-law rented a house to hide the body

Chung said Choi was believed to have been attacked in a car and was unconscious when she arrived at the house. The police were still trying to find out the exact time of her death and locate her hands and torso, according to the AP.

On Sunday, police also detained another woman they believed to be the mistress of the ex-husband’s father for allegedly helping the other suspects. Chung said that she had rented the house together with the father, as well as another place to hide the body.
