HONG KONG, March 4 (Agencies): AT such a young age of only 28 and at the height of her career, Abby Choi was living a life that many can only dream about and she also travelled to France after an invite to attend the famous Paris Fashion Show.

And then tragedy. She is now confirmed dead and the gruesome killing of Choi, 28, has gripped many in the world, Hong Kong and across the border in mainland China since the semi-autonomous southern Chinese city has a very low level of violent crime.
