An accused child rapist has died after a vigilante mob ripped off his testicles in a frenzied attack in the South African city of Johannesburg.
The incident took place after a local allegedly stumbled across at least three men gang raping two girls aged 14 and 18 in the Ivory Park settlement of Lindokuhle on Saturday night.
The passer-by called other community members for back up and a group raced to the scene to rescue to victims, Gauteng Police Colonel Lungelo Dlamini told News24.
The vigilantes collared the trio before two of the men managed to break free and escape.
A third man could not outrun the mob and was badly beaten before having his testicles ripped off, resulting in his death, Col Dlamini said.
