China Executes Driver for Deadly Car Attack on Civilians

The executed man killed over 35 people and injured dozens more in a shocking incident in Zhuhai, China, a tragic event that has drawn national attention.


A 62-year-old man named Fan Weiqiu has been executed after causing one of the deadliest civilian attacks in China in recent years. Fan drove his vehicle into a group of people exercising outside a stadium in Zhuhai on November 11, resulting in the deaths of at least 35 individuals and injuries to many more. Reports indicate that the motive for the attack stemmed from Fan's dissatisfaction with the division of his property following a divorce.

Following a swift judicial process, Fan was sentenced to death for "endangering public safety," with the court condemning his actions as "vile" and the methods he employed as "particularly cruel." The execution was carried out just weeks after the sentencing. This tragic incident is part of a disturbing trend, marking one of 19 similar attacks across China in 2024 that targeted unsuspecting citizens, including additional assaults occurring shortly after the Zhuhai tragedy.
