tourist city of Taxco brutally beat a woman to death because she was suspected of kidnapping and killing a young girl, rampaging just hours before the city's famous Holy Week procession.Her body was found on a road on the outskirts of the city early on Thursday.Residents gather as the coffin that contain the remains of an eight-year-old girl is delivered to family.
"This is the result of the bad government we have," said a member of the mob, who gave her name as Andrea but refused to give her last name. Video from the scene suggested they had also been beaten, though The Associated Press witnessed only the beating of the woman.
