Chinese man who killed 35 people in a car attack is sentenced to death

# A man who killed 35 people in a car attack in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai last month was sentenced to death. Sixty-two-year-old Fan Weiqiu deliberately drove through people outside a sports complex in his small SUV on 11 November, the worst attack in China since 2014. The court found Fan had decided to vent his anger over a broken marriage, personal frustrations, and dissatisfaction with the division of property. He pleaded guilty and the whole trial and sentencing took place on the same day.
