The suspect in the car-ramming attack that killed 35 people in China earlier this week was arrested this Saturday.

The case is moving forward. The suspect in the deadly car-ramming attack that occurred in China earlier this week was placed under arrest this Saturday, state media announced.

This Monday, the 62-year-old suspect hit people exercising at a sports complex in Zhuhai, Guangdong province. A total of 35 people were killed and 43 others were injured.

The individual was arrested shortly after the tragedy, while he was stabbing himself in the neck. He was hospitalized, police reported. This Saturday, the Zhuhai People's Procuratorate decided to “approve the arrest” of the suspect for “endangering public safety by dangerous means,” AFP reported.

censorship of the affair on social networks

CCTV, state television, affirmed that “the investigation continues its course”, without specifying the state of health of the suspect.

The first elements indicate the suspect's “dissatisfaction” with the division of property following his divorce, pushing him to commit this killing.

For several days, many residents have come to lay flowers in front of the sports complex where the tragedy took place, but the authorities dismantled this place of tribute and imposed strict censorship of the affair on social networks.
