The Elephant's Revenge: Poacher Trampled By Elephant He Was Trying To Kill
The bloodied remains of Solomon Manjoro were found by rangers after what was thought to be a botched poaching trip at the protected Charara safari area inside a national park.
Zimbabwe's Sunday Mail reported that the local man was charged by the elephant after he entered the game reserve for an illegal hunting trip with a friend.
The dead man's alleged accomplice Noluck Tafuruka, 29, was later arrested inside the park and charged with illegal possession of a firearm.
The state-controlled Sunday Mail reported: "The poacher was recently trampled to death by an elephant after he failed to gun down the
jumbo during a hunting expedition."
