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.
