Three arrested in connection with death of vagrant

Police have arrested three youths in Dos Hermanas, Sevilla, in connection with the death of a 46-year-old vagrant who was allegedly set on fire so that it could be recorded on mobile phones.

The detainees allegedly paid the homeless man €10 in exchange for being able to set his beard alight and record it on their phones for later posting online.

This was apparently not the first time they had done such a thing, but on this occasion the victim, an addict, suffered severe burns and died in the Virgen del Rocio hospital in Sevilla.
