KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaica authorities say two men suspected of trying to rob churchgoers have now died after being beaten by outraged neighbors.

Police said in a statement Saturday that 26-year-old construction worker Ryan Mullings has died at a hospital where he was taken after being held in jail.

A police constable says Mullings and four others tried to rob a group of people as they returned from church on Jan. 29, when they themselves were attacked by neighbors. One of the suspects died during the beating. The constable did not provide her name because she is not allowed to talk to reporters.

No one has been charged in the beating that occurred in the southwest town of Santa Cruz.
