Choi's ex-husband, Alex Kwong, his father, Kwong Kau, and brother, Anthony Kwong, were accused of murdering Choi in February 2023. If they're convicted of murder, they face life imprisonment.
In addition, they were also accused of preventing the legal burial of a body.
Choi, 28, shared a glamorous life of photo shoots and fashion shows on Instagram. A few days before he died, he published an entry into social media about his participation in a Dior parade at the Paris Fashion Week.
The murder of the model shocked the population in the Asian financial center - neighboring city of Macau -, which has a very low level of violent crimes.
Dozens of people were waiting outside the court today for the start of the hearing, and a live broadcast was organized so that one could watch from abroad.
The three defendants wore masks and, according to the Associated Press news agency, seemed calm in court. Kwong Kau wore a white T-shirt while the children were in fact.
In 2023, police claimed to have found some body parts inside a village dwelling in Tai Po, a suburban area of Hong Kong. Later, the agents searched a landfill for evidence.
Choi had two children with Alex Kwang and remarried after the divorce, having two younger children with her second husband.
The prosecution is expected to make the allegations at a later date. The trial with a jury is expected to last 45 days.
