    This is my favourite bit:

    The managing executive of the park extended his condolences to the family.

    "Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise," he said.

    I guess it shows the Darwin awards are still needed.

    Still, it's a great shame ..... that the elephant missed the other poachers.

    They only found a skull and a pair of trousers.

    Stained trousers I'd imagine.
