Some times crooks get beat up here in the Philippines but not burnt, its normally a case of people not trusting the police because criminals some times bribe their way out of trouble. Sometime the police protect the criminals. 

 

Stripped naked to the waist, she begs for mercy as she is savagely beaten by a lynch mob in the middle of the street.

Alejandra Maria Torres was part of an armed gang that tried to rob bus passengers in Guatemala City.

But as she tried to escape the passengers stripped and beat her before dousing her in petrol and setting her alight.

Police put out the flames and arrested her. Her three companions escaped.
