LIVE-STREAMER ALLEGEDLY MURDERED AFTER REFUSING TO RETURN $21K GIFT

A live-streamer from China, affectionately known as the “Yubei female security guard” was allegedly murdered by one of her fans following a monetary dispute.

A suspect has been arrested although the authorities have stopped short of revealing his identity.

Fan gave her a gift worth $21k

According to the Chinese media, she was reportedly killed after meeting a male fan in the evening of 2 November.

The victim’s husband said that he didn’t know that his wife had met up with a fan at the time as he was on a business trip in another city.

The male fan was said to be the Yubei female security guard’s biggest fans and even gave her a 100,000 yuan gift during one of her live-streams, which is about $21,200 in Singapore currency.

Allegations soon arose that their relationship took a turn for the worse, with suspicions from netizens that she was allegedly killed after refusing to return the money to the fan.

However, these are allegations at the time of writing and neither the police nor the victim’s family have come out to confirm or deny the claims.

Rose to fame dancing in security uniform

The victim, a 33-year-old woman, rose to internet stardom when she posted short videos of herself wearing a security guard uniform and dancing.

According to The Paper, she worked as a security guard at a Yubei driving school and helped them recruit students via her posts.

She first posted her content on DouYin (the Chinese equivalent of TikTok) and has since garnered over 600,000 followers before her alleged murder.

Most of her videos were taken at the driving school.

She leaves behind a husband and two children, following her death.
