Authorities removed tributes and flowers from the scene of the deadliest mass killing in China in a decade, as the government scrambled to respond and censor online outrage.

Information about China's deadliest mass killing in years remained heavily censored as authorities in a southern city cleared candles and flowers from the memorial to the 35 people dead.

Footage showing bodies lying on the pavement appeared on social media in the hours after the crash but had soon vanished.

Officials took nearly 24 hours to reveal that dozens had died, in what was one of the country's deadliest incidents in a decade.

Chinese authorities have offered little information about the 62-year-old driver who rammed his vehicle into a sports complex in Zhuhai on Monday, mowing down people as they were exercising.

A further 43 people were severely injured in the attack.

They said the man, who was arrested as he fled the scene and identified only by his surname Fan, was upset about his divorce settlement.

The fatal crash happened on the eve of China's largest air show, which is held in Zhuhai — a major event promoted by the country's tightly controlled state media outlets
