A SUSPECTED sex murderer was buried
alive in his victim's grave after being seized by enraged villagers.
Around 200 mourners grabbed Santos Ramos at the funeral of the woman he
was accused of raping and killing.
They then dragged him to the burial spot of Leandra Janco in central Bolivia, and dumped him into the grave alongside her.
Police
had identified 17-year-old Ramos as the possible culprit in the attack
in a Quechua community near the municipality of Colquechaca.
Chief
local prosecutor, Jose Luis Barrios, said residents blocked the road to
the community, preventing police from reaching it and stopping their
brutal retaliation. A local radio reporter said Ramos was tied up at the
woman’s funeral.
Mourners then threw the teenager into the open grave, placed the woman’s coffin in it and filled the grave with earth.
Colquechaca is a town of 5,000 inhabitants located 207 miles southeast of Bolivia’s capital, La Paz.
Lynchings
are said to be rare in the South American country, however just days
before Ramos' death, two suspected murderers were also dealt with by mob
justice.
One suspect, accused of robbing a car, and then killing
its driver, was stoned to death while his alleged accomplice was burned
alive. |
