Chinese woman texted ‘I’ve bumped into a pervert’ before suspected killing by Didi Chuxing cab driver
Flight attendant was stabbed to death and her body found dumped after she used ride-hailing app in Zhengzhou
A Chinese woman suspected to have been stabbed to death by a driver working for a ride-hailing app texted a colleague after getting into the vehicle saying she hadjust met a “pervert”, according to a news website report.
The 21-year-old flight attendant was killed on Saturday night after hailing a car from the firm Didi Chuxing in Zhengzhou in Henan province.
A police statement said the driver was suspected of killing the woman and he later jumped into a river after abandoning his car. Police have yet to find any trace of the man.
The flight attendant had booked the car to take her from a hotel to Zhengzhou airport as she was about to head to a relative’s wedding in Jinan in Shandong province.
As she got into the car, she texted a colleague saying she had “bumped into a pervert”, Thepaper.cn reported.
“[The person] said I look rather pretty and wanted to kiss me,” she was quoted as saying in the message. “Luckily, I’m not sitting in the front seat.”
