Jumbo butchered in suspected retaliatory killing in Sabah


KOTA KINABALU: An elephant was found shot and brutally hacked into several parts in what was the third and most cruel death of an endangered Bornean pygmy elephant in the wilds of Sabah this year.

The tusks were ironically left untouched, leaving wildlife rangers wondering about the motive for the killing, which showed signs of brutality that had never been seen in the previous cases.
