Poacher is trampled to death by elephants while 'lining up a shot' to kill a white rhino

An armed rhino poacher was trampled to death by a herd of elephants in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. The individual, accompanied by another man, had entered the park equipped with an axe and a high-powered rifle to target white rhinos for their lucrative horns. While lining up a shot for a potential £10,000 payday, the poacher was charged and killed by the elephants. The incident occurred during an illegal attempt to hunt the protected animals.
