A crowd lynched two Europeans on a tourist island in Madagascar today because they suspected them of trafficking human organs, a French interior ministry official said.
French foreign ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot declined to give details of the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the two people but confirmed that one was French.
The Europeans were chased after local residents found the remains of a child with his organs removed, the interior ministry official said.
The crowd caught them, hanged them and burnt their bodies on the Nosy Be beach, he said.
“We are counting on the Malagasy authorities to bring to light the exact circumstances of this and have asked them to take measures to increase security for our nationals on the ground, given that Nosy Be is a popular tourist destination,” Mr Lalliot told a news briefing.
Nosy Be is an island off the northwestern tip of mainland Madagascar famed for its turquoise waters and white-sand beaches and one of the Indian Ocean island’s leading tourism hubs.
Mr Lalliot said that French nationals had been warned to remain vigilant and the French school had been temporarily closed.
Malagasy officials were not immediately available for comment.

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi...
