A human skull found in the Kruger National Park is believed to be that of a man reportedly killed by an elephant while poaching with his accomplices.

Nelspruit - A human skull found in the Kruger National Park is believed to be that of a man reportedly killed by an elephant while poaching with his accomplices, Mpumalanga police said.

"His accomplices claimed to have carried his body to the road so that passers-by could find it in the morning. They then vanished from the park," he said. Subsequent to that, police launched a joint intelligence-driven operation in search of the dead poacher's accomplices, resulting in the arrest of three men, aged between 26 and 35, within the KaMhlushwa and Komatipoort policing precincts. During the operation, two .375 hunting rifles and ammunition were seized.
