Belgian tourist trampled to death by elephant in Kenya

A Belgian tourist was trampled to death by an elephant near Kenya's famed Maasai Mara wildlife reserve, police said on Wednesday, the second such incident in a month.

The death of the Belgian man on Monday in circumstances that remain unclear comes a month after an Italian man was trampled in the Tsavo National Park, southeast Kenya, while trying to take a photograph of an elephant.

Kenyan daily The Standard reported that in a separate incident on Tuesday, a Kenyan secondary school student was killed by an elephant on the way to school.
