Tusker kills Briton in Indian reserve
Print Edition
A BRITISH bird-watcher has been trampled to death by an elephant in a southern Indian nature reserve after he went out alone on foot, his guide and police said yesterday.
The 68-year-old tourist was fatally injured by the male animal in the Masinagudi forest of Tamil Nadu state on Thursday, area police chief T. Senthil Kumar said by telephone.
He identified the victim as Colin Manvell, from the town of Havant, in southern Britain, who had visited the sanctuary in Nilgiris District twice a year for the last five years.
“After lunch on Thursday sir (Manvell) went out on foot for bird watching near a lake which is a watering hole of wild elephants,” said his local guide, M. Kumar. “When he did not return by 4:15pm, we followed his trail and heard the sounds of a tusker trumpeting loudly.”
A forest warden said it appeared that the Briton did not notice the elephant creep up on him until it was too late.
