A raging lynch mob has demanded for police to hand over a suspected paedophile to them after a kidnapped five-year-old girl was found bound and naked at his flat after being raped.

A crowd of angry people stormed the 62-year-old's home, along with a local police station and administration building in Satpayev, Kazakhstan, where he was held.

Locals had launched a hunt for the kidnapper after a father reported his daughter missing.

Police used loudspeakers to call the child's name and heard her crying from behind the 62-year-old man's door. Officers broke it down and found her naked and bound with adhesive tape.

Earlier they had checked the same flat but had not found her because she was 'hidden in a sofa'.

The police said a medical examination confirmed the girl had been raped.

As the man was detained by police, the mob followed him to the police station while they also stormed and ransacked his flat.

Some police cars were set on fire during the demonstrations in which they demanded he be lynched, reported Fergana news agency.

The agency also said sticks and stones were thrown at the police officers.
