He will appear in court Monday alongside three family members: Choi’s former father-in-law and his eldest son were charged with murder, while her former mother-in-law faces a count of perverting the course of justice, police said in a statement. The names of those accused have not been released.
Choi’s ex-husband Alex Kwong, 28, his brother Anthony, 31, and their father, Kwong Kau, 65, are charged with her murder. Jenny Li is accused of helping to cover up the course of justice.
On Sunday, investigators identified a skull, several ribs and hair in a large stainless steel soup pot believed to be Choi’s remains, police said. The missing body parts include the torso and hands.
A man was arrested at the ferry pier on one of the city’s outlying islands. His brother and his parents were taken into custody.

An investigation of the death of their ex-fiancee Choi, the father-in-law of the model, and an ex-wife of the suspect
Police in Hong Kong charged the former father-in-law and brother-in-law of the model with murder after her skull and torso were found in a pot at a rural house.
Chung said earlier that some people were unhappy with how Choi handled her financial assets.
Chung said Choi was believed to have been attacked in a car and was unconscious when she arrived at the house. The police are still trying to locate the time of her death and find her hands and torso.
The police also arrested a woman they believe to have been involved in an affair with the father of one of the suspects. The woman rented the house with her dad and another hiding place for her ex- husband, Chung said.
