Woman battles father-in-law over missing husband’s estate

Hong Kong’s richest woman is embroiled in a legal battle with her father-in-law over her missing husband’s estate - a tale that has all the ingredients of a Hollywood blockbuster: sex, greed, blackmail and murder.

The legal woes of Nina Wang, head of the property giant Chinachem Group, began in April 1990, when her 56-year-old husband Teddy Wang was kidnapped after leaving the exclusive Hong Kong Jockey Club.
