Two arrested in mob incident

[NewsWhore]

Two men have been arrested for taking part in a mob style attack on a thief earlier this week. The incident, which has generated much discussion around the DR, was caught on tape by CDN news cameras. Some have justified the gruesome and violent attack on the thief as necessary, on the grounds that the police are either unable or unwilling to deal with the increase in crime around the country. Domingo Cruz Baez, 36, and Mayobanet Prefinal, 27, were detained by police for their role in the incident that led to the death of Francis Veriguete de los Santos, who had stolen RD$31,000 in cash from Fausto Sosa and Roberto Antonio Pena. Cruz Baez was apprehended with an illegal gun. During the incident Veriguete was caught by the mob and stoned repeatedly. He was then thrown off the second story of a building. As his body lay lifeless the mob continued to stone him, and one unidentified man began to shoot at his body.
