A man who killed dozens of people by driving his car into people exercising outside a stadium in southern China has been executed, state media reported.
Fan Weiqiu, 62, killed at least 35 people and injured more than dozens of people on November 11 after driving his car onto a practice track in Zhuhai, in what is believed to be the deadliest attack on Chinese soil in a decade.
The trigger for the anger was Fan’s “dissatisfaction” with the way his assets had been divided following his divorce, the court heard.
His execution on Monday comes less than a month after a court sentenced him to death.
Fan was found guilty of “endangering public safety”, with the court describing his motive as “extremely vicious” and “the methods used” “particularly cruel”.
The attack was one of 19 attacks on strangers expected to take place across China in 2024, including two within a week of the Zhuhai attack.
