As the investigation into her horrific death unfolded further, a seven-seater blood-splattered vehicle police believe Abby was attacked in was pictured being towed away from the scene.
Today, the court heard that the bloodstains found within Kwong's brother's car belonged to the model, as well as the human skull and legs found in the Tai Po village house.
The prosecutors have also asked for more time to fully investigate over 30 items including electric saws and knives that were found at the home of horrors.
The accused will appear in court again on July 31.
The successful model had more than 80,000 followers on Instagram, regularly mingled with celebrities and had featured on the front cover of a magazine in Monaco only a week before her death.
Abby had married her partner, Alex Kwong when she was 18 in 2012 but they divorced several years after. Yet, it is reported that she was still financially supporting her ex-husband and his parents.
Authorities believe that she had financial disputes with her ex-husband and his family over a property costing £10.7million which she had planned to sell.
Superintendent Alan Chung said in February: "Police also have found that the flat was arranged by cold-blooded killers meticulously.
"Tools that are used to dismember human bodies were found in the flat, including meat grinders, chainsaws, long raincoats, gloves, and masks."
Police quickly arrested Abby's former spouse as he allegedly attempted to flee the city on a speedboat days after her remains were found.
He was snared with around £50,000 on him as well as several luxury watches worth more than £400,000, reported CNA.
Pictures showed him being taken to hospital with a bag over his head after he complained about feeling unwell.
In late April, Choi's devastated partner said that he will continue to care for her four children and that he was grateful for the time he got to spend with her.
Tam Chuk Kwan told local media that Abby was a “kind-hearted and good person who always wanted to help others”.
