Following the discovery of the body of eight-year-old Camila Gómez near the city of Taxco in southern Mexico, violent protests erupted, leading to a tragic turn of events. The protests were sparked by the suspected murder of Camila.

Videos circulating on social media captured a horrifying scene: a woman believed by locals to be responsible for the killing was subjected to a brutal beating in broad daylight, with police seemingly standing by.

Additionally, two men suspected of involvement in the incident were also attacked by the enraged crowd, although they survived the assault.

Camila had vanished on Wednesday after reportedly entering a neighbor’s residence to use their swimming pool.

After receiving ransom demands via phone messages for the release of her daughter, Camila, her mother promptly reported the incident to the police. She provided security camera footage from a neighboring residence, which captured images of the house where Camila was believed to be held. However, her pleas for immediate action were reportedly ignored by the authorities.

Tragically, Camila’s lifeless body was discovered on a local road the following Thursday. Local authorities have since confirmed that they are investigating a woman and two men for aggravated homicide in connection with Camila’s death.

Outraged by the handling of the case, relatives of Camila, along with residents of Taxco, took to the streets to protest against the police and demand justice. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation in Mexico, a country plagued by high rates of violence against women.

In a show of anger, Taxco residents overturned cars, blocked roads, and surrounded three individuals whom they believed were involved in Camila’s murder.

Videos circulating on social media captured a disturbing scene as a lynch mob brutally attacked a woman believed by locals to be responsible for a crime. In the footage, police officers were seen observing the violent incident, seemingly attempting to disperse the crowd gathered around the woman.

According to reports from AFP news agency, local prosecutors are categorizing the woman’s death at the hands of the mob as qualified homicide. A statement released on the website of the state prosecutor of Guerrero confirms that police have arrested one man in connection with Camila’s death.
