Shocking moment ‘paedophile’ accused of raping and killing girl, 4, was dragged out of police cell and HANGED from tree
Vengeful mob storm police station, yank jail bars open before abducting and hanging child murder suspect
HORRIFIC footage has emerged showing a man accused of raping and murdering a four-year-old girl being publicly lynched.
The alleged paedo was arrested in Reyes, northern Bolivia after cops found a missing girl's body earlier this week.
Furious locals refused to wait for his trial and took justice into their own hands.
A mob surged into the police station and can be seen forcing the bars of the jail open before grabbing the suspect.
The vigilantes started pummelling him before they dragged him through the streets.
They then strung him on a tree and hung him.
Outnumbered, police watched helplessly on, unable to stop the public lynching.
The four-year-old victim whose death sparked the killing was not a local but was visiting with her parents for her grandmother's funeral.
Police chief Ivan Zambrana said: “The dead bodies, both the girl's and the lynching victim's, have been moved to Palos Blancos [near Bolivian capital La Paz], we are investigating the case.”
Nobody has been arrested for the lynching.
But cops are quizzing locals and using social media videos of the incident to investigate.
