HONG KONG police uncovered the location of the Tai Po village house where model Abby Choi Tin-fung was dismembered by checking records from a vehicle’s global positioning system (GPS) and surveillance camera footage from multiple sources, the South China Morning Post has learned.

More than 150 detectives from the force’s Kowloon West regional crime unit were tasked last Thursday afternoon with investigating the 28-year-old socialite’s disappearance after suspicions were raised by its missing persons unit.
