Witnesses said the man was in a nervous state. He even left the table once, left the tea shop and went to the convenience store across the street. Obviously to buy a knife.
All of a sudden, the man pulled out the knife and slit his girlfriend’s throat. Then he stabbed himself in the carotid artery. The dying man hugged his girlfriend on the floor and they both bled to death. Everything happened so fast that none of the witnesses had time to intervene.
It is believed that the woman wanted to end her relationship with the man. However, this information is not officially confirmed anywhere.
The incident was filmed on a security camera inside the tea shop. The identities of the victims have not been made public. The man was born in 1985 and the woman in 1982.
