KOTA KINABALU: The hunt is on for the poachers behind the killing of an adult Borneo pygmy bull elephant in Tawau, after its body was found riddled with over 70 gunshot wounds and its tusks sawn off.

The operation will be carried out by the Sabah Wildlife Department together with the police and other agencies on the latest killing, which many say revealed some of the worst injuries they had ever seen.
