A very angry mob has gone wild, burning three child kidnappers alive in Guatemala.
The mob killed the child kidnappers after they allegedly murdered an 11-year-old boy.
The three men who were accused of abducting and killing Freddy Méndez, 11, were dragged out of a police station in Guatemala and set on fire by locals.
Selvin Pérez, 24, Samuel Godínez, 38 and Ovidio Méndez, 24 were killed in the village of Xémal, in Colotenango.
According to the Guatemala National Police, the suspects had abducted Freddy Méndez, 11 on August 12, requesting $1,900 (£1,600).

In order to prove Freddy is alive, the kidnappers sent the child's family a photo showing one of them holding a shotgun next to him.
Even though the family paid the ransom, the boy was never released.
The three suspects were arrested on Monday and taken to the local police station.
An angry mob arrived at the station, managed captured one of the suspects, and dragged him to Xémal.

The suspect is said to have confirmed young Freddy was shot in the head and buried in a pit, so the furious locals burned him alive.
The raging mob then returned to the police station and captured the other two alleged kidnappers, who were also set on fire.
Local media reported that Freddy's body was recovered on Wednesday.
Officers believe the boy was targeted because his father currently lives in the US and would often send money back home.
