Villagers in Bolivia's southern highlands buried a man alive in the grave of
the woman he is suspected of having raped and murdered, an official said
Thursday.

Police had identified 17-year-old Santos Ramos as the possible culprit in the
attack on 35-year-old Leandra Arias Janco Sunday in a Quechua community near the
municipality of Colquechaca, said Jose Luis Barrios, the chief prosecutor in
Potosi province where the community is located.

Enraged, more than 200 community members seized Ramos and buried him alive
alongside his alleged victim Wednesday night, according to Barrios. He said
residents on Thursday blocked the road to the community, preventing police and
prosecutors from reaching it.

A local reporter for an indigenous radio station, who would only speak on
condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, told The AP that Ramos was tied up
at the woman's funeral. Mourners threw him into the open grave, placed the
woman's coffin in it and filled the grave with earth.

Colquechaca is a town of 5,000 inhabitants located 207 miles (333 kilometers)
southeast of Bolivia's capital, La Paz.

Also in Potosi, residents of the Quechua indigenous community of Tres Cruces
on Wednesday stoned to death a suspected thief and burned his accomplice alive,
Barrios said. The official said the two had earlier robbed a car and killed its
driver.

Lynchings sometimes occur in rural and poor parts of Bolivia where police and
other authorities are scarce.

hmm.

Had that been in a larger area I think that I would feel different about this. But in a small rural area like that, trust is HUGE to people. The community will group together and do something like this. I'm not saying that it was right to do, but almost everyone in a population of that size knows the victim or someone related/ friends.

For people who think that 5k people is large, my high school in a not huge area will have 3,000 students within 2 years and right now it is well over 2,000.
