An elephant trampled a woman to death in India, only to return during her funeral to pull her body off a pyre and trample over her corpse again.
The incident was said to have occurred in the eastern Indian state of Odisha on Thursday, and comes amid rising animal-human conflict in the country.
Maya Murmu, 70, was targeted by a wild elephant that had strayed from a nearby wildlife sanctuary while collecting water in the district of Mayurbhanj.
Despite being rushed to hospital, the elderly woman succumbed to her injuries in hospital and her body was placed on a funeral pyre the same evening.
On Saturday evening, while her family members were performing her last rites, the same elephant appeared and took Ms Murmu’s body from the pyre and trampled on it, before throwing it away.
Her terrified family members fled the scene and were only able to complete Ms Murmu’s last rites several hours later, once the elephant had left the area.

Is there any chance that we can hire and send such a noble beast to Chappequau, New York? And will they work from a picture and and address?
Baaaaad juju somewhere
It was probably in the paper.
Indian elephants read newspapers too?
You two are probably correct. :)
Also, India being India, they brutalize the animals, doing things like randomly stabbing them or dousing them with petrol and setting them on fire.
I’m not buying it.
India must “do something “ now! Enact stricter Elephant control laws...that will do it!
[Enact stricter Elephant control laws...that will do it!]
How about putting up signs “No Elephant Zone”.
Seems like that would be the correct solution.
I think somebody has the right moniker for this thread!
That elephant represents the way patriots will feel when Pelosi and hillary take their dirt naps.
“(if the story is true at all.)”
I agree - doesn’t pass the smell test.
Maybe she threatened a baby elephant
Either the elephant or the woman was wearing an N95 in the first attack.
An elephant never forgets. Apparently they never forgive either.

She was on the wrong part of the Hot-Crazy chart.
Damn bet the back of her car cover shirt has a WIDE LOAD sign on it.
hope her car service is a dually.
Indeed
She must’a really dissed that elephant!
That must have been one pissed off elephant.
And remember...ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET!
