According to local media, a man who survived a hyena attack two years ago was killed by an elephant in Makueni county in eastern Kenya.
Musili Musembi, 72, is said to have been trampled by an elephant as he walked home on Wednesday night.
Human-wildlife conflicts are common in the area bordering the vast Tsavo East National Park, with residents complaining of wildlife attacks and crop destruction.
In 2020, the deceased is said to have fought off a hyena that attacked his livestock, injuring his left hand in the process.
Residents were outraged on Thursday and demanded a meeting with the minister in charge of wildlife. They also demanded that the rogue elephant be killed by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
Police are said to have fired warning shots into the air to disperse residents in order to retrieve Mr. Musembi’s body, which was later taken to a hospital mortuary in Kibwezi town
