A Bolivian teen suspected of raping and murdering a woman was buried alive on top of her casket during her funeral by an angry mob of grieving relatives.
Santos Ramos, 17, allegedly sexually assaulted and strangled 35-year-old Leandra Arias Janco in the village of Colquechaca, in the Potosi district of Bolivia's southern highlands, on Sunday.

At her funeral Wednesday, local media reports a group of 200 vigilantes captured the teen and tied him up.
With Janco's coffin lowered into the ground, they reportedly threw him on top and started to cover him with earth, reports Boliviaentusmanos.com.
It is not yet clear whether he survived the incident.
But it has emerged that it was the second instance of mob justice handed out in the area that day.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
