Wild Elephants Broke a Man’s Legs in a Sudden Attack. Then, They Returned Later the Same Night and Killed Him
"A man was killed in a wild elephant attack while working at a logging site in Malaysia.
Saidi Jahari, 43, was found dead by his coworkers the morning of Oct. 29 in the Gua Musang district in the northern part of the country, per local news outlets Malay Mail, Free Malaysia Today and The Vibes.
Sik Choon Foo, superintendent of the District Police, said the attack occurred in two parts, per the outlets.
Saidi, who was the site supervisor, and five coworkers were sleeping in tents when they heard and smelled elephants approaching the evening of Oct. 28, Sik said in a statement, according to The Vibes. The loggers ran into the woods for safety, but Saidi was unable to escape in time.
The other workers returned several hours later and found Saidi injured with two broken legs.
“They brought the victim inside the communal house for temporary protection. However, not long after, a bull elephant, believed to be the herd leader, returned and attacked them again,” Sik said, per The Vibes.
“After the area calmed, the group returned and found the victim was no longer there. Searches nearby discovered Saidi deceased on the exit path, with severe injuries consistent with being trampled by an elephant,” Sik said.

Elephants don't want those sleazy bastards moving onto their turf any more than we do.
