This is the terrifying moment a pervert pastor tries to chase down his 13-year-old stepdaughter after allegedly raping her and digging a grave to bury her in.
Shocking home security footage from Chinchina, in the department of Caldas, Colombia, from 29th April shows the petrified teen fleeing for her life from her family's residential compound.
Earlier, she had told her mother that the priest had abused her.
The grim clip shows the teen sprinting along a track with her stepfather, named as Jose Erley Ramirez Garces, gradaually gaining on her as a sheet she was wrapped in flies behind her.
She had been stripped, raped, tied up and left in a padlocked room while Garces dug her grave.
Neighbour Jose Diego Osorio said: "He abused her. The girl was only saved because while he was digging the hole to bury her, she ran away.

"He left her tied up but she cut the rope with the knife he'd used to slice her clothes off and ran away after getting through a window.
"Another 10 seconds and the girl wouldn't have survived."
Garces was only stopped when Osorio raised the alarm and neighbours intervened to save the girl, local media reported on 4th May, and he fled.
After hearing the girl's horrifying story and finding the grave locals set up a search party and dragged Garces from his hiding place in a bush.

He was beaten savagely before police arrived and is now facing rape and kidnapping charges.
Police later found a shallow grave just three feet from the family home and Garces may also face an attempted murder charge.
His stepdaughter was rushed to nearby San Marco Hospital where she was treated for emotional trauma.
She is currently under the protection of the Colombian Family Welfare Institute in Santa Rosa de Cabal.

Police are investigating allegations against the pastor and his death.
But members of his Christian flock have appealed for Garces to be forgiven and set free.
They claim he was possessed by the devil and that "dark forces" had made him attack his step daughter.
