Kwong, 28, his brother, Anthony, 31, along with their parents, father Kwong Kau, 65, and mother Jenny Li, 63, were arrested over the weekend, multiple outlets report.

According to the AP, Choi was a beloved mother of four young children under the age of 10 — two of whom she shared with Kwong. She shared the other two children with her current husband, Chris Tam.
“I haven’t imagined a person who’s so good, so full of love, so innocent, a person who doesn’t do anything bad will be killed like this,” Choi’s friend Bernard Cheng said, per the AP. “My heart is still heavy. I can’t sleep well.”
On Tuesday, authorities combed through a Hong Kong landfill in search of further evidence connected to the case, according toCBS News.
