While her legs, head, and a few ribs have been found, her torso and arms are still missing, HK01 reports.
Hong Kong police will continue the search for her missing parts as well as more evidence to aid in the investigation.
According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), security footage revealed that someone may have discarded evidence at a refuse collection point last Wednesday (22 Feb).
The evidence included body parts, clothing, phones, as well as murder weapons.
This led to the deployment of over 100 police officers who searched the landfill in Ta Kwu Ling on Tuesday (28 Feb).

Superintendent Alan Chung said that police have confirmed the location where the rubbish gets unloaded every day and are confident they can recover the evidence.
As of 1pm on 28 Feb Hong Kong time, officers have reportedly found several bones.
However, the superintendent said they would need to undergo testing to determine their origins.

The search came to an end when it did not yield any results at around 5pm.
“The work will definitely not be done today. It will take one or two days more,” said Mr Chung.
They will resume the search on Wednesday (1 Mar) with bulldozers and excavators to comb through the landfill, which is roughly the size of a football pitch.
SCMP reports that Choi’s family and friends gathered outside the village flat where authorities found her dismembered body parts on 28 Feb.
They stood in a line to burn incense and wish her soul a good afterlife, following Taoist rites.
The mourners included Choi’s partner Chris Tam, his family, her parents, and Taoist priests.
As Mr Tam bowed before the ceremony’s altar, he said, “Rest in peace, my wife.”
His mother also said her farewells, stating:
Your kindness has been misplaced . . . People will be held responsible and justice will be done.
Choi’s former husband Alex Kwong, his father Kwong Kau, and brother Anthony Kwong were all charged with her murder. His mother, Jenny Li, was charged with obstructing the course of justice.
The local court has denied them bail, and they are currently remanded.
The trial will continue on 8 May to allow for further investigations including forensics and call record checks.
