Choi’s head was found in a three-storey house in the rural Tai Po district on Sunday, days after her other body parts were found in the same location – roughly 27km (17 miles) from where she was last seen in Kowloon City on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A meat slicer and an electric saw were also found at the scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Alex Kwong was arrested on Saturday while trying to leave the city by speedboat, police said. His parents and elder brother were detained a day earlier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Police also arrested a fifth suspect on Sunday who was connected to Choi’s father-in-law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She had recently appeared on the cover of L’Officiel Monaco – a fashion and luxury lifestyle magazine – and had been a well-known socialite in Hong Kong with more than 100,000 followers online.<\/p>\n
