Marauding elephants killed two people and seriously injured another one in Muzarabani and Mbire on Wednesday last week.
The incident was confirmed by Mashonaland Central police spokesperson Inspector Milton Mundembe. He said:
I can confirm that two brothers from Nyamaro village, Muzarabani, were working in a field when an elephant charged at Tinashe Dzoro (10) who was trampled to death while his brother Solomon (12) escaped with serious injuries.
In another incident, a 22-year-old man from ward 12 Mbire district was trampled to death, while working in his field.
Mbire legislator Douglas Karoro said that four people have been killed by wild animals in ward 2 alone in less than 12 months.
He appealed to the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and the Rural District Council to erect a fence to separate the communal area from the zone of the national park.
