Elephant kills four members of same family in 14 years

A wild elephant killed four members of the same Nepal family over 14 years, even after they fled their village, hoping never to cross its path again.

For Shanichara Bote, the nightmare began in December 2012 when a rogue elephant named Dhurbe fatally trampled his parents in Madi, a town near Chitwan National Park in Nepal, Kathmandu Post reports.

Grieving the loss, Bote decided to move his family nearly nine miles away, crossing the Rapti River to settle in Jagatpur in the hope of leaving the danger behind.
