A man in southern China has been sentenced to death for a horrific act of violence that resulted in the deaths of 35 people. The incident occurred at a sports center in the city of Zhuhai, where the perpetrator, identified as Fan Weiqiu, rammed his car into a crowd of people who were exercising outdoors.
The attack, which took place last month, is considered the deadliest known act of violence against the public in China in the past decade. Fan, aged 62, pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced at the Zhuhai Intermediate People’s Court after a hearing.
