Gan Soujiong, a popular Chinese street food vlogger, was stabbed to death while livestreaming in Nepal. It has been alleged that the jarring attack was carried out by his rival influencer. A suspect, Feng Zhengyung, has been arrested following the death.
According to Asia Wire, the shocking attack took place on Sunday afternoon at Indra Chowk market in the capital city of Kathmandu.
Chinese national Feng Zhengyung was arrested on December 4, following the death of Gan Soujiong, who is also popularly called Fatty Goes To Africa online. The victim was taken to the National Trauma Centre following the fatal attack. He died from stab wounds that he obtained to the chest and stomach portions.
His companion Li Chuzan, who was also stabbed in the stomach during the violent street attack, was taken to the hospital and is currently in a critical condition.
In the video, which has been uploaded across various social media platforms, Fatty Goes To Africa can be seen livestreaming himself as he walks and laughs with his peers. As the video progresses, it is suddenly interrupted by a series of distressing high-pitched screams. The screen also shook and eventually went black.
Another recording showed Gan Soujiong sitting in the middle of the street covered in blood while another person was heard swearing at somebody in Chinese.
Gan Soujiong, who was 29 years old at the time of his passing, was seen clutching his stomach. He was also gesturing towards his phone, presumably asking onlookers to call for help.
The investigation into his death is currently ongoing.
