In Ecuador, local residents arranged a lynching over a man detained on suspicion of murder, reports Liter.kz with reference to Daily Mail.
He was taken out of the police station and set on fire. As a result, the man died.
According to their data, the detainee was arrested after shooting in the village of Plaasyas de Kuyabeno-this is a hard-to-reach settlement in the tropical forests of the Amazon. The incident occurred in the early morning of April 20. At about six in the morning, the man was captured by local residents, who then transferred his police.
The man’s name is Hann British, and he is supposedly a citizen of Great Britain. However, officials did not confirm his identity, indicating that it was not disclosed in the documents. The police took him to the station and called several special police special forces to the place. It was planned that the suspect would be sent to Lago-Agrio-the administrative center of the canton in the province of Sukumbios, where he was supposed to be transferred to the hands of the judicial authorities.
However, after about six hours – at about 12:30 local time – a crowd of local residents burst into the station. They pulled the man out into the street and set fire to him. The police who watched what was happening did not intervene. The reports indicate that the security forces decided not to enter into a conflict in order not to danger their lives and prevent damage to state property.
As indicated in the police report, which the journalists got acquainted, the special forces could not arrive at the place on time due to the complex transport accessibility of the region-you can only get to the village along the river. Although law enforcement officers warned of a high probability of self -guess, it was not possible to prevent the tragedy.
The Constitution of Ecuador recognizes the indigenous peoples the right to autonomous decision -making in a number of issues. However, these decisions must comply with the laws of the country and respect human rights. Samad, even in relation to a person suspected of a serious crime, is recognized as a criminal act and may be the subject of investigation by the prosecutor’s office.
The publication also emphasizes that at the moment it is not known whether any detentions were made in connection with the murder of the alleged British citizen.
