A Chinese man who killed 35 people in a car rampage has been executed, according to state media.

Fan Weiqiu, 62, was upset about his divorce settlement and deliberately drove a small SUV through crowds of people exercising outside a sports complex in the southern city of Zhuhai in November.

He killed 35 and wounded 43, in China’s deadliest attack since 2014.

A court in the city “executed Fan Weiqiu in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People’s Court”, according to state broadcaster CCTV.

Fan was detained at the scene with self-inflicted knife wounds and fell into a coma, police said at the time.

Footage of the aftermath showed dozens of people lying motionless on running tracks and fields, with shoes and items of clothing scattered across the grounds.
