On the night of 18th May 2021 in Umuarama (Brazil), 48 year old A.M.L. was lynched.

'A', a mototaxista, was accused of sexually abusing his girlfriend's 2 granddaughters. A few days prior, the 2 little sisters, aged 6 + 8 years, had told a neighbour of the abuse. The neighbour told the authorities + the girls were removed from their grandmother's home.

Soon enough, word had spread around the neighbourhood. Locals dragged 'A' out of his home + into the street. He was beaten to death with stones, rocks + wood.

As well as his sister, 'A's children stated that they believe that their father is innocent. They said

“We want proof that our father has abused children. The love he had for those girls was father and daughter. He would never take advantage of children. We want to see the report. If he is guilty, then he paid for what he did. But, on the contrary, let the people who killed him pay (for the death).”
