The hearing on Abby Choi's murder case continues at the High Court today, with Choi's husband Chris Tam continuing to testify.
Tam mentioned he had exchanged texts with Choi on the day of her death, adding that the Kwong family remained calm despite knowing about Choi's disappearance.
The three defendants -- Abby Choi's ex-husband Alex Kwong, his father Kwong Kau and brother Anthony Kwong, are facing charges of murder and preventing the lawful burial of a body.
This as Choi's husband Chris Tam continued with his testimony at the High Court today.
Tam said Whatsapp records on the day of Choi's death showed his texts with Choi, with the pair initially planning to have dinner together.
Choi last replied at 2:06 p.m. that day, after which Tam texted her several more times but received no response.
The texts were only marked as read at around 4 p.m., which Tam said made him feel uneasy.
He believes Choi's phone was restarted after having been turned off.
When asked by prosecutor Charlotte Draycott whether there was a chance that Choi's phone had been charging at the time, Tam said yes.
Tam also noted the GPS on Choi's phone indicated that she was in Tai Po at 4:18 p.m. that day, adding that he called Anthony Kwong, Choi's driver, who said Choi left his vehicle in that area and that he was unsure where she went.
On the same night, Tam visited the Kwong family's Kadoorie Hill residence and saw Alex Kwong, Anthony Kwong, Kwong Kau and his wife Jenny Li.
He said he was shocked when the family remained calm when he asked about Choi's disappearance, stressing that Li blamed him for wanting to call the police, saying that "maybe someone just wanted money".
When asked by Draycott what "someone" meant, Tam said Li was referring to kidnappers.
He subsequently believed Li had tried to divert his attention at the time.
The court later played a voice message recorded one day after Choi's death, in which Anthony Kwong said he did not remember the exact spot where Choi got off his vehicle, further saying that "there are shopping malls all around Tai Po".
Tam, who was on board Kwong's vehicle on the third day of Choi's disappearance, said he felt his life was in danger after the police notified him about the Kwongs' possible connection to the case.
During his cross examination by Anthony Kwong's representative, Tam said Choi, Kwong and him maintained close ties, adding that the trio had travelled to Macao together.
