Hong Kong authorities begin a murder trial for former husband Alex Kwong and his relatives accused in the killing of socialite and influencer Abby Choi Tin-fung. Multiple outlets report that the case moves into its first stage of court proceedings with an opening hearing scheduled in the city’s High Court.
Reporting indicates the court initially holds a hearing to address preliminary issues before the jury process starts. According to timelines described across sources, jury selection is expected later in the week, with the prosecution to deliver its opening statement after jurors are chosen. The case is expected to draw continued international attention because of the highly publicised circumstances surrounding Choi’s death.
The accounts focus primarily on the procedural start of the trial—dates for the first hearing, the handling of preliminary matters, and the sequence leading to jury selection and opening statements—rather than on new evidence or trial arguments.
