Friends and family of Hong Kong model Abby Choi paid their respects on Tuesday at the scene where police say they discovered what they believe to be the socialite’s dismembered body parts, according to sources.

According to sources, Choi’s mother and widower lit incense and brought Taoist paper offerings used in traditional funeral rites outside the village house on the city’s outskirts.

Alex Kwong, 28, Choi’s ex-husband, Anthony Kwong, 31, and their father, Kwong Kau, 65, are charged with her murder. Jenny Li, Alex Kwong’s mother, has been charged with perverting the course of justice, according to reports.

According to sources, the Kowloon City Magistrates’ Court denied bail to all four on Monday. They have not yet entered a plea.

According to police, on Sunday, investigators discovered a skull, several ribs, and hair believed to be Abby Choi‘s remains in a large stainless steel soup pot. Other body parts, such as Choi’s torso and hands, are still missing. The police investigation is still underway.

It comes after a police investigation that began on Wednesday after Choi, 28, went missing. Parts of her body were discovered two days later at the house in the city’s Tai Po district, according to police. Police also discovered a meat slicer, an electric saw, and some clothing at the residence.

Choi, who has over 100,000 Instagram followers, was recently featured as the digital cover model for luxury magazine L’Officiel Monaco and attended this year’s Paris Fashion Week.

The investigation’s grisly details dominated headlines in local media, and thousands of people left condolences on Choi’s social media accounts.

Choi’s ex-husband appeared in court on Tuesday for allegedly jumping bail on charges of stealing jewellery between May 2013 and January 2015. According to reports, Alex Kwong pleaded not guilty to seven counts of theft but skipped his trial.

The case was adjourned on Tuesday and Kwong was taken back into custody.
