The suspected rapist, believed to be aged around 40, allegedly snatched the little girl from her mother’s food stand in the northern Mexican town which sits near the border with Texas.

After having his head kicked and stamped on repeatedly, the man was pronounced dead in hospital later that evening.

Police later claimed he had been the victim of a hit-and-run despite the footage quickly going viral.

Following the girl’s alleged abduction, which took place outside her home in the neighbourhood of Los Colorines, locals quickly tracked down the man at a nearby dump.
