A marauding Jumbo trampled on a 67-year-old woman killing her instantly at Poghoi village in West Pokot County.
The woman was killed just some 50 metres away from her house where she was returning to after attending a parent's day ceremony at Seker Mixed Secondary school on Thursday evening.

Area residents are living in fear saying that they have noted about three rogue elephants roaming in the area.
Within a span of two years, more than four people have been killed and crops destroyed by elephants in the area and local residents appeal to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to tame their wild animals.
