A mob in the Mexican tourist city of Taxco brutally beat a woman they suspected of kidnapping and killing a young girl, just hours before the city's Holy Week procession. On the eve of Good Friday, men walk through the colonial streets of Taxco wearing hoods, whipping themselves or carrying heavy bundles of thorns in penitence.
TAXCO, Mexico — A mob in the Mexican tourist city of Taxco on Thursday brutally beat a woman they suspected of kidnapping and killing a young girl, just hours before the city’s famous Holy Week procession.
The mob formed after an 8-year-old girl disappeared Wednesday; her body was found on a road on the outskirts of the city early Thursday. Security camera footage appeared to show a woman and a man loading a bundle, which may have been the girl’s body, into a taxi. The Mayor of Taxco, Mario Figueroa, said he shared residents’ outrage over the killing. Figueroa said a total of three suspects — the woman and two men — had been rescued by police. Video from the scene suggested they had also been beaten, though The Associated Press witnessed only the beating of the woman.
