To aid them in their search, the authorities have deployed an elite Special Duties unit to carry out an underwater search at a catchment area in Tsung Kwan O cemetery, stated The Straits Times (ST).
Another 100 officers including personnel from the Police Tactical Unit also searched the vicinity of the cemetery, located on the slopes of Yau Tong and Tsung Kwan O.
Forty minutes after the first search, police divers are starting their third and final underwater search of the day. The final pool was around waist-deep for the divers.

The police additionally deployed search dogs to detect traces of the deceased. They used two bags of Ms Choi’s belongings in hopes that the dogs can pick up her scent.
Sale of Kowloon property may be motivation behind murder
ST claims that initial police investigations show that Ms Choi had recently planned to sell a property that she had bought in her former father-in-law’s name.
The property, located in the exclusive Kadoorie hill neighbourhood in Ho Man Tin, is in an upmarket residential area in central Kowloon.
Although she had promised to resettle with her ex-family members, Ms Choi’s former father-in-law allegedly opposed her decision fiercely.
Reports believe that the disagreement may have been the main motivation behind the murder.
Even though Ms Choi had a current ‘husband’, she apparently had not registered her marriage with him yet.
In light of this factor, the two children she had with her ex-husband may possibly inherit her assets.
