What. The. Heck.
A logger in Malaysia was recently killed in what authorities are calling a two-part attack.
From People:
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 ...
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.
Everyone escaped except for Saidi, who was trampled at the campsite. His coworkers found him with both legs broken and took him into a communal house to begin treating his wounds.
But then...
'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.
An elephant never forgets.
And apparently they never leave a job half done!
The workers fled yet again and were forced to leave Saidi behind.
'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.
What an awful, awful way to go. Immobile, abandoned by your work buddies, trampled by a pack of wild beasts.
Wildlife officials are still trying to locate and capture the roving hoard of murderous pachyderms.
This reminds me of 2022, when an elephant tracked down and stomped on the corpse of a woman it had killed ... during her funeral.
There's something going on with the elephants.
