China’s deadly car attack suspect may own building materials store, database suggests

The suspect in Monday night’s deadly car attack in Zhuhai is the owner of a construction materials store, registration information obtained by the South China Morning Post suggests.

Local police in the southern Chinese city said that 35 people were killed and 43 others injured in what it labelled as a “major malicious case” that had shocked the country.

The suspect was a 62-year-old man surnamed Fan who was unhappy with his divorce ruling, police said on Tuesday, without disclosing his full name.

A study by the Post of Chinese company database Qichacha revealed that a man with a name and age matching police information on the suspect was the owner of a “department store” in the outskirts of the city in southern Guangdong province. Hospital and car purchase records leaked online also backed up this information.

According to information available on Qichacha, the store’s business includes construction materials and electronic equipment, but its registered address is that of a residential flat owned by the store owner.

A neighbour said she saw Fan’s name on the property management company’s list of registered owners, but added she had never seen Fan near the flat.
