A British man has reportedly been lynched and burned alive by a mob in Ecuador's Amazon rainforest region. He was said to have been killed after a group stormed a police station where he had been taken into custody. Local reports said the unnamed male was held by members of the local community on suspicion of shooting another person dead. He is said to have been taken from a police station by the same individuals around six hours after his arrest and set alight in front of law enforcement personnel.
