A “British man” has died after being beaten and set on fire by a mob in Ecuador, according to reports by media in the South American country.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the man – who has not been officially identified – had been detained by police after being accused of being involved in a fatal shooting.<\/p>\n

Ecuadorian news outlet Ecuavisa reported that the man had been taken to a police station Playas del Cuyabeno, a remote village in the Amazon rainforest.<\/p>\n

While there, a group broke into the station and took the man away. He was then set on fire in the street, it is reported, and died from his burns.<\/p>\n

Another local report, from EXTRA.ec, said that specialist police units had been slow to arrive due to the geographical conditions of the area – which is accessible by river.<\/p>\n

According to reports, police officers at the station apparently decided they could not intervene when the mob arrived out of concerns for their own safety.<\/p>\n

It is understood the UK Foreign Office is following up reports about the incident and working with local authorities to confirm the details.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
