The man suspected of being responsible for a car attack that killed 35 people in southern China is still in a coma and cannot be questioned, the local authorities have said.
The suspect, a 62-year-old man surnamed Fan, remains in a stable condition in hospital after trying to cut his throat following Monday’s attack in Zhuhai, the city’s government told the Post.
The police have now arrested Fan, triggering a formal judicial process, state news agency Xinhua reported.
It took five days between Fan’s detention and the formal approval for his arrest – a relatively fast pace under Chinese criminal procedure.
He is accused of killing 35 people and injuring 43 others after an SUV was driven into crowds of people exercising at a local sports stadium.
Police have previously said he may have been motivated by his anger about a recent divorce settlement.
