Shocking video shows a gang attack a suspected rapist accused of snatching a four-year-old girl

HORRIFYING footage shows a suspected paedophile being kicked to death by a gang of locals who allegedly caught him trying to rape a four-year-old girl.

Filmed on a mobile phone in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, the brutal video shows a group of ten people beating the man unconscious after he was allegedly found with the infant on waste-ground.

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.

The men dragged the suspected rapist from the waste-land on to the road, pinned him down and knocked the life out of his crumpled body.

Around 10 men were involved in the savage assault.

The video shows several onlookers pleading with the vigilante gang to stop – but the sustained beating lasts for nearly two minutes.

Emergency services, including paramedics, rushed to the scene but were unable to revive the man.
