The Hong Kong-based fashion influencer, 28, was last seen in the Tai Po region of the city on Tuesday.
On Friday, police entered a rental unit and foundhuman remains, later identified as Choi’s legs, in a fridge. Some of Choi’s belongings were also found in the unit, including her credit card and ID, according to local broadcaster RTHK.
Alan Chung, the superintendent of the regional police’s crime department, told reporters that not all of Choi’s body parts had been discovered.
“The body parts that we found were inside the refrigerator – there were two legs that belonged to the female,” Chung said, per RTHK. “We are still looking for the head. There are also other body parts that are missing, for example, the torso area, the hands, so we believe the suspect has already disposed of the body parts already.”
A meat slicer, an electric saw and some clothing were also found at the Tai Po residence, CNN reported.
