China Executes Driver Behind Deadly Car Attack
Man sentenced for tragic incident that resulted in massive casualties
A horrific event that shook southern China has culminated in the execution of Fan Weiqiu, a 62-year-old man responsible for one of the deadliest car attacks in recent years. On November 11, Fan drove his vehicle onto an exercise track outside a stadium in Zhuhai, killing at least 35 people and injuring many more. The brutal act, reportedly fueled by his "dissatisfaction" regarding property division post-divorce, has drawn widespread condemnation and discussions surrounding public safety.
In a swift legal response, a court sentenced Fan to death less than a month after the attack. The court highlighted the "extremely vile" motives behind his actions and described the methods employed as "particularly cruel." This incident is part of a disturbing trend in China, where 19 similar attacks targeting unsuspecting individuals occurred within the same year. The anguish felt by the communities affected has prompted memorials, with many laying flowers outside the scene of the tragedy as a tribute to the victims. The execution is expected to spark further debates on safety and violence in public spaces across China.
