The former father-in-law of slain Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung was listed as the owner of a government-subsidised flat worth more than HK$2 million (US$254,780) just months after a luxury property was bought under his name in 2019, the Post has found.
Kwong Kau, 65, and his two sons – one of them being Choi’s ex-husband Alex Kwong Kong-chi – were charged over the murder of the former model, parts of whose body were found in a ground-floor flat of a three-storey house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen on February 21.
Kwong Kau’s wife, 63-year-old Jenny Li Sui-heung, meanwhile, faces a charge of perverting the course of justice for allegedly destroying evidence during a police investigation on February 23.
All four family members were remanded in custody after appearing in court on Monday. The next hearing will be on May 8.
A closer look into the father’s properties found the 65-year-old owned a 291 sq ft subsidised flat at Sheung Man Court in Kwai Chung.
The flat was bought for about HK$2.2 million in July 2020. He is the first and sole owner of the unit.
Kwong Kau, a former police officer, is also the sole owner of a property located in the exclusive Kadoorie Hill neighbourhood in Ho Man Tin. The 1,820 sq ft flat in the Kadooria housing complex was bought for about HK$73 million, including a HK$3 million stamp duty fee.
