A young woman committed suicide by jumping off a building after her boyfriend gambled away 100,000 yuan ($14,630) in Shenzhen special economic zone, Guangdong province, last Thursday.

The tragedy took place in a housing estate in the city's Buji township around 5 am.

The 24-year-old woman died instantly after she jumped from her 19th-floor apartment.

The woman's boyfriend, surnamed Chen, said his girlfriend committed suicide after they had quarreled in their apartment.

Chen lost the money his girlfriend had earned and saved to buy a car.

He was taken to a nearby police sub-station for further questioning.
