bullet Mob burns bars in Bolivia to protest girl's death corner

Residents of a rural community in central Bolivia burned three bars and the house of a man who allegedly raped and killed a four-year-old girl, Bolivian media reported.

The incident occurred Tuesday in Ironcollo, a neighbourhood in the city of Quillacollo, after the burial of the girl. She died over the weekend after allegedly being raped by Jose Luis Condori Vasquez, a drug addict and a friend of her father's.

Hundreds of residents went to Condori's house Tuesday afternoon, threw stones at the dwelling and then set it on fire.

Police could not stop the mob, which burned three bars, including the establishment where the 22-year-old Condori drank with the girl's father before killing her.

Condori was arrested Monday while drinking at an area bar and has been sent to a prison by a judge.

Another group of residents waited for the suspect as he left the prosecutor's office after a hearing, but police prevented them from lynching him.
