Sweden woman's 'murder' committed by elk not husband

A drunken elk killed his wife. Much more serious than a sister's moose bite.

Note from the article that European Elk are also known as “Moose”.

[Seruzawa]

Maybe she recently watched Bambi? Tried to pet a wild animal?

[dog breath]

When a person contemplates the many dangers out there and ways that their life might end, drunken elk are somehow never taken into account.

I bet if the moose had smoked some ganjah this wouldn’t have happened! (Sorry counldn’t resist)

[sodpoodle]

Not passing the smell test.

What were the injuries? The dog would have scared off an elk. Where was the dog found?

Hubby could have walked with her, killed her & left to establish an alibi.

Poor old curious elk may have just sniffed/licked at her body before hubby returned to “find her”.

ELKED to death. Not a pretty way to go. That was more than a moose goose.

[Vaquero]

FYI

Elk = Moose in Europe.

I guess you need a Norwegian Elk Hound to prevent that possible death.

Thought this was gonna be some BS Tiger Woods excuse story after his wife bent his 9 iron over his noggin !

You truly made me LOL. Thanks.

[Bigg Red]

The dog would have scared off an elk.

I did not read the whole piece. Is the breed of dog mentioned? Maybe the dog was not very feisty. And maybe a drunken elk feels bullet- and dog-proof.

Oh, just one more question if you don’t mind sir. I’m sure there’s an innocent explanation but I’m just trying to get it straight in my mind. Why did you have a box of moose slobber in your trunk?

Hamina hamina hamina.

[sodpoodle]

Not sure if you are poking fun at my scenario; I suppose I should have added that the elk’s appearance at the scene of the crime was just one damn lucky happenstance for the hubby.

[Big_Harry]

Stupid hunters get killed by white tail deer just about every season so why would an animal several times that large and a bit more aggressive, the case of a moose, not be able to kill a woman?

****police decided she was probably killed by an elk****

Probably???????

[seawolf101]

Man attacked by deer after spraying himself with elk urine.

You can get a nasty crack in the head from a tree limb too!

That is why I would like to learn the type and extent of her injuries to demonstrate an elk was responsible.

I’m pretty sure if I were the grieving family - that would be comforting information to have.

[Daffynition]

Am I the only one getting tired of all these stories about airing out your dirty laundry in public? ;)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Unless they have the elk attack on video “probably” is generally the best they can do.
