A Chinese court in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, has sentenced Fan Weiqiu to death for driving his car into a crowd at a sports center on November 11, resulting in the deaths of 35 people and injuries to 43 others. The Zhuhai Intermediate People's Court found Fan guilty of endangering public safety by dangerous means, citing his actions as extremely vile, particularly cruel, and resulting in severe consequences. Fan's motivations were linked to his frustration over a failed marriage and dissatisfaction with the divorce settlement. The court also deprived Fan of his political rights for life.
