The Sun reported:
A lynch mob burned a suspected pedophile alive after he was accused of raping and killing a six-year-old girl in a horrible act of jungle justice.
Alfredo Roblero was accused of killing and raping the child, named locally as Jarid.
He was beaten and tied to a big red pole where he sits and is criticized by the mob in the small village near Cacahoatan, southern Mexico.
They then throw him on the grass and kick him in the head before his hands are again tied while he struggles.
Petrol was poured over his body and set alight.
In videos, he can be heard shrieking and screaming while he burns alive.
Jarod, the little girl, was reported missing, then her body was found the next day.
Police arrived too late, unable to save her life.
The authorities in Chiapas said that citizens are not allowed to take matters into their own hands and vowed to open an ongoing investigation into the suspect’s death.
Something similar also happened to two men in India.
They were set on fire by a mob after being accused of raping a minor, according to authorities.
This happened in Jharkhand’s Gumla district in the Basra village. One man died and the other man was left in critical condition.
Newsweek reported:
The deputy superintendent of police in Gumla, Manish Chandra, spoke about the incident, according to a Hindustan Times report.
“As per initial investigation, a girl was dropped at her home by two accused allegedly after raping her,” he said.
“Both the girl and the accused are from different neighborhoods in the same village. Enraged over the allegation of rape, the [girl’s] family members and a few other villagers brought the two boys from home and set them on fire.”
Speaking to the Deccan Herald publication, Chandra gave more details about the incident, saying: “When the girl’s family members and other villagers came to know about the incident, they got hold of the accused. The mob then brought the youths to the survivor’s village, thrashed them and set them on fire.”
The deceased victim has been identified as Sunil Oraon and the alleged rape victim has filed a complaint with the police and has been taken for medical tests, according to the Hindustan Times report.
It never gets any easier hearing and learning about innocent children, whose lives are ruined by disturbed individuals. And in some cases, stolen by them.
