Almost 27 kilometers (17 miles) from where she was last seen in Kowloon City on Tuesday, Ms. Choi’s bones were discovered in a refrigerator in a home in the village of Lung Mei.
Police superintendent Alan Chung was quoted by news agency AFP as saying, “We suspect the victim and her ex-family husband’s had many money problems involving big sums.”

Choi, who recently graced the cover of fashion and luxury lifestyle publication L’Officiel Monaco, was reportedly a well-known socialite in Hong Kong.
