China executes two mass murderers who killed 43 people

China executed two murderers on Monday, sentenced to death in November last year in two separate cases of brutal mass murder.

The People's Daily reports on the executions, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that the sentences were carried out after their approval by the Supreme People's Court, China's highest judicial authority.

The first case involves 62-year-old Fang Weiqiu, who on the evening of November 11 last year, in anger over a failed marriage and what he considered an unfair divorce, drove his SUV at high speed into a crowded sports stadium in the city of Zhuhai, Guangdong Province in southern China.

As a result of Fan's attack, 35 people were killed and 43 others were injured.

In the second case, 21-year-old Xu Jiajin, a graduate of a vocational college in Wuxi, east China's Jiangsu province, was executed after failing his final exam and failing to receive a diploma.
