The Sun reported that “An argument erupted and the suspect, surnamed Liu, dragged her into a nearby stairwell and allegedly slit her throat.

As well as being an influencer, Irene Irene worked as a public relations officer at a nightclub called Ruff in the Taiwanese capital Taipei. According to reports, Irene worked in banking but left her job to work in PR so she could have the same schedule as her boyfriend.

According to Metro, “In May, Irene filed a complaint for assault against Liu as well as applying for a protective order.

But he failed to appear in court, and in the days leading up to her death, Irene posted: “‘If you hit me, I’ll go to the police, right?”

In another post, Irene said:” Someone asked me why don’t I just block him?,” and also said: “Because he’ll find me, he even asked my colleagues if I was at work, disturbing my co-workers.

“Most importantly, I don’t owe him money!”
