Guatemala Mob Kills, Burns 3 Suspected
Criminals
GUATEMALA (AP) - Police say a
mob in Guatemala burned to death two men and
a woman suspected of killing a local bus
driver.
Photos show the half-burned bodies lying in
a street in the western city of Solola.
Police say the three were taken into custody
for allegedly shooting to death the bus
driver and wounding 2 passengers.
National Police spokesman Donald Gonzalez
says about 400 residents later showed up at
the police station, set fire to three patrol
cars and forced the outnumbered officers to
turn over the suspects.
The mob then beat the trio unconscious,
doused them with gasoline and set them
alight on Friday.
Mobs have attacked several suspects in
Guatemala recently amid a wave of violent
crime. |
