Kowloon City Court handed down the sentences to Lam Shun, 44, and Irene Pun Hau-yin, 31, on Friday for a count of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Earlier this month, the court found the pair guilty of agreeing to arrange a boat to Macau for a person named 'Alex' to evade criminal sanctions, even though there was insufficient evidence to show they knew the suspect was Choi's former partner.
Alex Kwong Kong-chi, 30, was wanted by police on suspicion of murder after Choi's
remains were discovered in a Tai Po village house on February 24, 2023. She was 28.

Lam and Pun, who said she was jobless, planned the illegal boat journey under the guise of holding a junk party at sea after learning that 'Alex' was urgently seeking to leave Hong Kong without being intercepted by authorities.
