Influencer, 23, is found dead with her throat slit after posting chilling warning to her fans
An influencer has allegedly been murdered by her ex-boyfriend after sharing an online warning about his abuse. Irene Gu, a 23-year-old content creator from Taiwan, was ambushed as she tried to leave a cinema car park on Tuesday night. The suspect, identified only by his surname Liu, reportedly blocked her vehicle and began arguing with her before dragging her into a stairwell and slitting her throat. He is said to have fled across the island to his grandfather's home, where he was arrested by a police task force early on Wednesday morning. The suspect, identified only by his surname Liu, reportedly blocked her vehicle and began arguing with her before dragging her into a stairwell and slitting her throat. He is said to have fled across the island to his grandfather's home, where he was arrested by a police task force early on Thursday morning. During interrogation, Liu allegedly confessed to killing the influencer in a furious row over money, claiming she owed him 440,000 Taiwanese dollars, around £10,530, from their failed relationship. In the days before her death, Gu posted a screenshot of her domestic violence report and issued a chilling warning to her ex: 'If you hit me, I'll go to the police, right?' In another post, she revealed: 'Someone asked me why don't I just block him?' '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!' Earlier in July, she uploaded a striking photo of herself in a black dress with the caption: 'Occasionally, you should thank yourself for walking such a long way alone.' Gu had amassed more than 30,000 followers on Instagram and Threads, posting glamorous lifestyle content alongside her work as a nightclub PR officer in Taipei. Liu also worked at the venue as a security guard. The pair are believed to have met there after Gu was encouraged to try the nightclub scene by her mother, who reportedly wanted her to go out and 'see the world'. She quit her banking job to take up the PR role to match his work schedule and be closer to him, but the relationship allegedly took a turn for the worse. In May, Gu filed a complaint against Liu for alleged assault and applied for a restraining order, according to local media outlet What's The Jam. Despite being summoned, Liu reportedly failed to show up in court. The police investigation into her suspected murder remains ongoing.
