Elephant kills woman, 70, in India and returns to trample on her corpse at funeral after lifting her body from pyre as family performed last rites

印度大象踩死一名70岁的妇女，又在葬礼上把她的尸体从柴堆上卷到地上踩踏

A 70-year-old woman who was trampled to death by an elephant later had her body stampeded over by the very same wild animal.

一名70岁的妇女被大象踩踏致死，后来在葬礼上，她的遗体又遭踩踏。

Maya Murmu was out collecting water in Raipal village, Eastern India when the escaped elephant came out of nowhere and trampled her on Thursday morning.

周四早上，在印度东部的雷帕尔村，玛雅·姆尔穆在打水时，一头逃跑的大象突然冒出来，踩了她。

She later died in hospital of her injuries, Rasgovindpur police station inspector Lopamudra Nayak said.

Rasgovindpur警察局督察Lopamudra Nayak说，后来她因伤在医院去世。

Then that evening the elephant returned as the 70-year-old's body lay on top of her funeral pyre.

那天晚上，亲属为姆尔穆举行火葬时，这头大象又来了，它将遗体从柴堆上卷下来，再次踩踏。

It took her body down, trampled her again, threw her around and went off into the night, according to the Press Trust of India.

据印度报业托拉斯报道，大象卷起她的遗体，再次踩踏，并扔来扔去，然后趁着夜色逃走了。

The elephant is believed to have travelled from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary in the state of Jharkhand, 200km away from Raipal in Odisha state, Mayurbhanj district.

据信，这头大象是从贾坎德邦的达尔马野生动物保护区跑出来的，距离奥里萨邦的雷帕尔200公里。

According to local reports, the Independent said, the second trampling happened while Ms Murmu’s family were performing last rites.

据当地媒体《独立报》报道，第二次踩踏事件发生时，姆尔穆的家人正在为她举办葬礼。

It is now known if anyone else was harmed but the family did go ahead with the ceremony after the elephant left.

现在还不知道是否还有其他人受伤，但在大象离开后，这家人继续举行了仪式。

Around 100 people in India are killed each year by elephants, though the number can be as high as 300, according to the World Wildlife Fund.

据世界野生动物基金会统计，印度每年约有100人被大象踩死，而实际数字可能高达300人。

The Indian government limits potentially deadly human-elephant encounters by tagging the giants with radio collars and alerting locals via text messages when the beasts wander through human-populated zones.

印度政府给大象戴上无线电项圈，并在大象在人类聚居区游荡时通过短信提醒当地人，以此来控制人象之间潜在的致命冲突。

Maybe nothing happened and the Elephant was just being a bully like big wild animals can be. This false image of it being a nice peaceful creature needs to end.

也许什么都没发生，大象只是像大型野生动物那样欺负人。别再认为它是友好温和的生物了。

她对大象做了什么?

Daz1954, Withernsea, United Kingdom

Elephants never forget things plus they jave a high degree of emotional intelligence. They can bear a grudge for a lifetime. All I can say is the elephant must have had a reason to do what it did. Whether we as hans would appreciate that reason I am not sure but I do trust the elephant's instinct.

大象从不忘事，大象有很高的情商，可能会记仇一辈子。那头大象这么做肯定是有原因的。作为人类的我们是否能理解这个原因，我不确定，但我相信大象的本能。

That elephant had a grudge against her. Elephants are very intelligent, they communicate with each other and they pay respects to their dead fellow herd members. Interesting to know if this lady had done something cruel against that elephant or fellow her members in the past.
