MEXICO CITY — A 40-year-old man died early Thursday after being beaten by an angry mob that accused him of raping a 4-year-old girl, police said.
The man, who was not identified, was held against his will and beaten for several hours Wednesday by residents of Santa Maria Coapan, in the central state of Puebla, said Deputy Puebla Attorney General Rodolfo Archundia.
Police were able to rescue the man while he was still alive Wednesday, but he died at a hospital early Thursday from severe beatings to the head, Archundia said.
