Hong Kong Police (CNN) in Hong Kong said on Saturday they had arrested three people after discovering the dismembered body of model and influencer Abby Choi.
Parts of the 28-year-old’s body, along with a meat cutter, a power saw and some clothing, were found at a rental unit in Hong Kong’s northern Tai Po district on Friday afternoon, police said in a press release.
Police said three people were arrested and detained for questioning.
Choi has enjoyed international fame as a model and just last month was photographed at the Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2023 Haute Couture Show in Paris, France. She also recently appeared as the digital cover model for luxury magazine L’Officiel Monaco and attended this year’s Paris Fashion Week.
Choi, who was also known as a social media influencer, has nearly 100,000 followers on her Instagram account, which features photos of her posing with various luxury brands in locations from London to Paris and Shanghai and aboard yachts in Hong Kong . In her bio, she writes that she “embraces every moment in life.”
Police received a missing person’s report for Choi on Wednesday. She hadn’t been seen since the day before.
The investigation, including the cause of death, is ongoing, police said.
