Authorities on Monday executed a man who killed 35 people in a car rampage in Zhuhai last November, state media said.

A court in the city "executed Fan Weiqiu in accordance with the execution order issued by the Supreme People's Court", state broadcaster CCTV said.

State media said that Zhuhai's public prosecutor "sent personnel to supervise (the execution) in accordance with the law".

On November 11, 62-year-old Fan drove a small SUV through crowds of people exercising outside a sports complex.

He killed 35 and wounded 43, state media reported at the time.

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

He was sentenced to death last month, with a court saying his motives "were extremely vile, the nature of the crime extremely egregious, the methods particularly cruel, and the consequences particularly severe, posing significant harm to society." (AFP/Xinhua)
