An armed rhino poacher in South Africa’s Kruger National Park was trampled to death when a herd of elephants charged as he lined up a shot for the animals’ lucrative horns



Is there an article from a more reputable source than the Daily Star?
Confirmed on the South African National Parks website:

I searched briefly but found mostly sketchy reprint sources. One seems to say lions came along and ate some of the corpse as well, which good if so. But I didn’t see a date of occurrence either. That’s partly because I wasn’t clicking on Agree to the cookies and conditions, though.
