Preliminary investigations found that the woman, identified as Ms Zheng, 40, had been arguing with her 38-year-old boyfriend, Mr Chen, while he was driving her home.
Dispute reportedly involved child’s illness and finances
Police said the argument stemmed from disagreements over Ms Zheng’s child from a previous marriage, who was reportedly ill.
Conflicting views on financial management and a perceived lack of emotional support also contributed to the quarrel.
