discussion Elephant kills woman and then returns to trample over her corpse at funeral

[Psylocke]

 

A 70-year-old woman who was trampled to death by an elephant later had her body stampeded over by the very same wild animal. 

 

Maya Murmu was out collecting water in Raipal village, Eastern India when the escaped elephant came out of nowhere and trampled her on Thursday morning.

 

She later died in hospital of her injuries, Rasgovindpur police station inspector Lopamudra Nayak said.

 

Then that evening the elephant returned as the 70-year-old's body lay on top of her funeral pyre. 

 

It took her body down, trampled her again, threw her around and went off into the night.

 

The elephant is believed to have travelled from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary in the state of Jharkhand, 200km away from Raipal in Odisha state, Mayurbhanj district.

 

According to local reports, the Independent said, the second trampling happened while Ms Murmu’s family were performing last rites. 

 

It is now known if anyone else was harmed but the family did go ahead with the ceremony after the elephant left.

Nobody is making fun of the Indian woman for being Indian, people are laughing at the absurdity of the situation
