An angry crowd storms into the house of a suspected aswang, dragging the man down after he was caught with two dead victims whose bodies had plenty of wounds, slash marks, and signs of abuse.
According to video uploader Salah Magasa, the incident happened somewhere in Davao del Norte; though some of those who commented in her Facebook post said the video was taken outside the Philippines.

Considering how the words being shouted by the angry crowd were difficult to hear and understand, we could not confirm this video’s location. Still, the grizzly scene surely looks gruesome – and was clearly the work of a crazed man, aswang or just a murderer on a killing frenzy.
The crowd angrily lynched the man, pulling him down the stairs and beating him with sticks.
The video has since gone viral, gaining close to 650,000 views less than a day after Salah shared it on Facebook. It is too graphic to share here but you can click here if you want to watch the angry crowd discover the dead bodies and punish the aswang. Warning: GRAPHIC! Viewer discretion is advised.
ADDENDUM/CLARIFICATION: Readers pointed out that this incident did not actually happen in Davao del Norte, with some saying it actually happened in Thailand. However, we received confirmation that the video had actually happened in Cambodia, based on the insignia on the uniform worn by one of the policemen on the scene. Moreover, the language spoken by the people seems to be different from the ones spoken in the Philippines.
