Angry mob made police helpless when they dragged an alleged child kidnapper and killer out of a police car and beat her to death.
How it All Started
The unnamed woman, a partner-in-crime was being hauled away by police, after she had allegedly been caught on CCTV helping a man dump the body of Camila Gomez Ortega who had disappeared Wednesday.
The villagers in the Mexican tourist town of Taxco then dragged the woman out of the police car and began wailing on her and tearing at her clothes.
Tensions have been mounting since Camila went missing Wednesday after her family let her walk to a next door neighbor’s house to play.Â
How The Girl Was Dumped
Later on, footage captured a woman in the same neighborhood carrying a basket of clothes into a taxi and helping a man carry a bundle, believed to be the young girl, in the trunk of the cab.
The girl was later found dead in the city outskirts that same day, per Excelsior.
An autopsy was carried out and it was revealed the girl had been raped and asphyxiated.
Police Hesitated at First
The victim’s family members pleaded with authorities to arrest them, but police did not move in.Â
The angry mob led by the girl’s parents then swarmed the home, with some men seen climbing the roof of the house to force the suspected child killers out.Â
Police then stepped in (seeing what was going on) as the trio was forced out out of the house.
Mob Attacked The Suspects
Despite placing her in a police pick up truck, the villagers can be seen clawing at the woman until they finally pulled her out of the truck. Â
An officer tried to pull her back in, but couldn’t resist the force of the mob.
Police stood by and down, and watched the beating of her and two other men who were suspected in Camila’s death until the mob finished with them.
The woman was taken to the hospital where she died from her injuries.Â
Reaction From Villagers
‘We are fed up,’ a woman who identified herself as Andrea told the Associated Press. ‘This time it was an 8-year-old girl.’
‘This is the result of the bad government we have. This isn’t the first time this kind of thing has happened, but this is the first time the people have done something.’
