Mob Kills Three Suspected Of Stealing Children In Ecuador

https://www.channelstv.com/2018/10/17/mob-kills-three-suspected-of-stealing-children-in-ecuador/

Officials said those three were not in fact accused of such a crime but rather had been arrested on suspicion of stealing money and cell phones.

When they were brought to a police station in the southwest town of Posorja, a crowd outside overpowered officers and beat the detainees to death with rocks and sticks. Footage of the attack circulated on social media.

The mob also burned a taxi and six motorcycles. Three police were injured.

Police at the station tried in vain to convince the mob that the suspects were not accused of abducting children.
