The boyfriend of the York University student found dead in her apartment last week has said he believes the man he witnessed enter Qian Liu's room is the same man whose advances she had been repeatedly turning down.
The man, who spoke for the first time about the incident with CTV's Ben O'Hara-Byrne at the park in China where he first met Liu, said his webcam conversation with Liu was interrupted when she heard a knock at the door at about 1 a.m..
"She opened the door and it looked like they knew each other pretty well," said the man who requested anonymity. "They said hello and he borrowed her cell phone."
The victim's boyfriend said although it appeared that the man wanted to hug Liu, he saw her refuse.
"He wanted to hug (her) but she said no and fought back," he said. "I was so helpless, I could not calm down until in the end the guy closed the computer."
Liu, originally from Beijing, China, lived at 27 Aldwinckle Hts., near Keele Street and Finch Avenue, near York University.
Although police have contacted the Liu's boyfriend about gaining access to his computer, he said they still haven't been able to investigate.
"Canadian police want my computer," he says. "An expert could help to find clues but I still have it for now."
Det.-Sgt. Frank Skubic told reporters Tuesday afternoon that the "online witness" in China reported watching the live-streaming online feed for several minutes after Liu answered her apartment door before the feed was eventually cut off.
A photograph of Liu with a man suggested as a rejected suitor has circulated on Internet forums.
Skubic said officers have spoken with the man and say he is merely a "person of interest" in the investigation.
