A teenager was killed by a stray elephant in the Democratic Republic of Congo on June 4, after the animal ran towards a group of local residents when it felt threatened.
The elephant had been living in forests in the town of Kiniati, of the Kongo Central province, for several months after leaving the territory of Tshela, in the forests of the sector of Loangu, according to Media Congo.
Local residents discovered the animal s exact location in the forests, prompting a group to confront the elephant.

Desk Nature reported that the elephant felt threatened after seeing the group of residents and charged towards the crowd, causing them to run in several different directions to avoid being hit by the animal.
Reports indicate that the deceased had visited the conservancy in the company of his business partner, a Spanish national identified only as Jordin, and three Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers.
The rangers are reported to have escorted 50-year-old Murimi and Jordin, a Spanish national, for an excursion in the conservancy when the stray elephant is said to have attacked them.
“The body of an adult male believed to have been killed by an elephant in Nkoteiya Conservancy, Kilimon locality, Mogul area was discovered. After the attack, they ran for their lives but the deceased did not manage to escape,” the police report reads in part.
