Anthony Kwong starts to testify in Choi case

The trial of Abby Choi's murder case at Lung Mei Village continued.

The three defendants, including Abby Choi's ex-husband Alex Kwong, ex-father-in-law

Kwong Kau and ex-brother-in-law Anthony Kwong, denied charges of murder,

but have previously pleaded guilty to preventing the lawful burial of a body.

Anthony Kwong began his testimony under the guidance of his legal representatives,

first detailing his family background and his relationship with Choi.

Anthony Kwong testified he went to the US in 2011 to attend a community college before transferring to a university.

In 2015, after his younger brother Alex Kwong absconded to the mainland

over involvement in a theft case, Anthony Kwong returned to Hong Kong to help take care of the family.

He stated Alex Kwong met a group of wealthier friends in the mainland

who invited him to invest in projects to make money.

Alex Kwong and Choi invested together; once profits were distributed, the money

was sent to money changers and withdrawn.

He pointed out Choi was not running any business at the time, and these investments constituted part of her income then.

Shortly after Alex Kwong left Hong Kong, Choi introduce Anthony Kwong to Chris Tam.

Choi's children called Tam their godfather, but about six months later, it was discovered that Choi was pregnant with Tam's child.

Kwong mentioned that he was unaware Choi and Alex Kwong had broken up

at the time and was surprised.
