They may be some human body parts or there could be the clothes and the phone of the victim, or even the weapons,” Police Superintendent Alan Chung said. “The suspects threw away several bags of important evidence in the morning of Feb. Her ex-husband was the father of the older two, who have been left in the care of Choi’s mother. Authorities believe that on the day of her death, Choi’s former brother-in-law offered to take her to pick up her daughter from school, but instead knocked her out in the vehicle and brought her to the Tai Po flat to be butchered. Police have said the killing was “premeditated” and “well-planned” and likely carried out because Choi’s ex-husband and his relatives were unhappy with how she handled her finances. “When we found the two pots of soup at the scene, one of the pots measuring 50cm [20 inches] deep and 40cm [16 inches] in diameter, was almost full and covered with thick fat, some green radishes and carrots and meat believed to be human flesh,” Chung said.
