An investigation into the vicious murder of a man in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador was conducted, allegedly a shooting that was pursued by a Benin mob seeking justice.
The man was allegedly lynched by a crowd, who was identified as a British national in local reports and burned him alive after attacking a detained police station.
The unnamed man was widely reportedly “British” and was held by uniformed officials who were suspected of shooting a local man.
But six hours after his arrest, a crowd rushed into the police station, dragged him to the street and placed him in front of police officers who said they were afraid of intervention.
Sources told MailOnline that the UK’s Foreign Ministry is following up on the reports and is working with local authorities to confirm details of the man’s murder.
Respected Ecuadorian newspaper ecuavisa Said the horrific murder took place in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Sanctuary in the Amazon region of Ecuador, a popular eco-tourism area.
It is the second largest reserve in 56 national parks and reserves in South America, located in Putamayo Guangzhou, Sukmios Province.
British nationals were said to have been handed over to police by locals at around 6 a.m. Sunday and then murdered after noon.

Ecuadorian newspaper Extra The officials who arrested him reportedly decided not to intervene, when the mob was forced into the police station before it was transferred to the area.
The newspaper said they backed down to avoid attacks and avoid additional damage to state property.
It said police reinforcements took time to reach the area due to their distance and difficulty in accessing the area.
The local TV station that reported the two deaths said: “This incident occurred in the early hours of the Parish of Playas de Cuyabeno on Sunday, April 20, at the end of an event on the anniversary of the Kichwa community, and the two deaths were the result.
“These two are members of the community from the area, another British citizen who died due to the severity of the burn.”
The man killed in Ecuador was appointed Rodrigo Chavez locally.
A third man was reportedly arrested for killing a British man.
Ecuadorian newspaper El Universo reported that police have not issued a statement because they are still collecting information about the case.
The violence in Amazon province, which has been privately occurring, has been reportedly escalated by huge escalation as gangs show cruel influence, leaving bullets tangled with bodies and victims often show signs of torture.
Local authorities declared a state of emergency last year after only 159 people killed in Sucumbios, with violent deaths in the region increasing by nearly 70%, with most police saying that most people in the region are gang-related as the group fights for territory.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that “except all basic travel” to scenic areas of the Ecuador-Colombia border due to organized crime related to drug production and trafficking.
Latin America has become synonymous with drug dealings due to ruthless cartels and criminal gangs that cannot be tamed by governments or armed forces.
Although the infamous cocaine hotspots border cocaine hotspots in Colombia and Peru, some countries like Ecuador have managed to maintain relative peace.
But the murder rates in coastal countries have soared in recent years as drug drugs and crime masterminds dug their hooks into new territory and use their ports to make the most profits.
