Raging elephant tramples woman to death and then comes back to drag her off funeral pyre and maul her corpse | The Sun

A PENSIONER was trampled to death by an enraged elephant before the beast returned to drag her away from a funeral pyre and maul her corpse.

Maya Murmu, 70, was collecting water in the village of Raipal, east India, when an escaped elephant unleashed its anger on her.

The huge creature stamped on her and she was rushed to hospital, but died from her catastrophic injuries.

But in a cruel twist, the raging elephant returned and pulled her body off from on top her funeral pyre.

It once again trampled her body, threw her around and savaged her corpse before leaving the scene, reports Press Trust of India.

The elephant is understood to have escaped from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary in Jharkhand – 124 miles from where the brutal attack happened.
