They say an elephant never forgets, and this one elephant seems to have held quite the grudge against this old lady in India.
From the Independent:
An elephant in eastern India killed a 70-year-old woman and then returned to her funeral to trample her corpse.
The incident occurred in Odisha state on Thursday, police said. Maya Murmu was at a tube well drawing water in Mayurbhanj district's Raipal village when the wild elephant appeared out of nowhere.
Authorities said it had strayed from the Dalma wildlife sanctuary, nearly 200km from Mayurbhanj.After being trampled, Ms Murmu was taken to hospital where she died from her injuries, police officer Lopamudra Nayak was quoted as saying to the Press Trust of India news agency.
This elephant, for no known reason, went rogue and escaped a preserve and trampled the lady to death.
And as if that's not bad enough, the elephant came back to add insult to injury.
Reports said when family members gathered for the funeral and were in the middle of performing last rites, the same elephant appeared, lifted Ms Murmu's body from the funeral pyre and trampled it again, as shocked mourners looked on.
The family were only able to go ahead with the ceremony after the elephant left. It remains unclear if the animal harmed anyone else present.
The elephant literally charged in, knocked the corpse off the funeral pyre, and proceeded to trample the lady again.
What in the world did this woman do to this elephant that he would literally return to trample on her corpse??
