Rumour that woman is associated with teacher in school

NetEast News also shared that there were rumours that the suspect was a nurse and a family member of a male teacher at the school.

The male teacher allegedly helped her apply for subsistence allowances, but the action was later reported to authorities.

This resulted in the suspect wanting to attack the child of the reporter.

These rumours have not been validated and the real motive has yet to be confirmed.
