Grief as elderly man is gored by bufallo

Grief gripped Kihuyo village in Nyeri County, after a rogue buffalo trampled a 60-year-old man to death as he grazed his cattle.
The buffalo reportedly strayed out of the neighbouring Aberdare National Park into the village where it ambushed Stephen Mwangi and gored him.
Before the 9am incident, Mwangi was grazing his livestock at a field adjacent to the park when the buffalo pounced on him and killed him instantly, after which it walked back to the park.
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers arrived at the scene and tracked the animal for about three hours, found it within the park and shot it dead.
Nyeri Central Sub-County Commissioner John Marete said the buffalo strayed into the village after it destroyed a section of the electric fence.
