Vigilantes burn ‘paedophile’ alive after he was accused of rape and murder of girl, 6
A lynch mob burned a suspected paedophile alive after he was accused of raping and killing a six-year-old girl in a gruesome act of jungle justice.
Alfredo Roblero was accused of killing and raping the child, named locally as Jarid.
He was then beaten and tied to a big red pole where he sits and is berated by the mob in the small village near Cacahoatan, southern Mexico.
They then throw him onto the grass and kick him in the head before his hands are again tied as he struggles.
Petrol was poured over his body and set alight.
The last of three sickening video clips shows the moment Roblero is thrown across the dirt and grass, beaten while on the ground, tied and burned alive in a garden.
The brutal clip shows the hogtied man writhing around in a blue hoody and jeans as three-foot-high yellow flames eat his body.
He can be heard shrieking and screaming in agony above the crowds’ whistles and jeers as they watch him suffer and die.
The girl’s aunt allegedly tried to take the suspect to the police beforehand, but the angry mob of villagers told her that he was not going to leave the community alive.

Jarid was reported as missing on Thursday and her body was found the next day.
Police later arrived at the scene but were unable to save the suspect’s life.
The authorities in Chiapas said in a statement that citizens are not allowed to take matters into their own hands and vowed to open an ongoing investigation into the suspect’s death.
