The Standard notes that she was arrested in Mainland China under the charge of assisting an offender.
Authorities will later turn her over to the Hong Kong Police Force for further investigations.
This makes her the seventh person to be arrested in the case so far. Previously, police arrested Ms Choi’s former husband, his parents and brother, and his father’s mistress.
Most recently, authorities apprehended a sixth suspect, a 41-year-old yacht rental employee named Lam.
He allegedly tried to help Ms Choi’s ex-husband flee Hong Kong by boat for a fee of HK$100,000 (S$17,000).
On Monday (6 Mar), South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that DNA tests confirmed that the body parts found in a Tai Po village house belonged to Ms Choi.

Police discovered her skull in a large soup pot and two legs in a refrigerator in the flat on 24 Feb.
Subsequently, they launched a three-day search for her remaining body parts at a landfill in Ta Kwu Ling.
However, they ceased search operations on 2 Mar after being unable to recover her arms and torso.
Besides that, police also stated that crime squad officers are still investigating other potential sites where the suspects could have dumped the rest of Ms Choi’s remains.
