An elephant that killed a woman in India returned to her funeral and trampled on her corpse, local police have said.

After the elephant attacked Murmu, she was rushed to hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries, Lopamudra Nayak, an inspector at the Rasgovindpur police station, told The Print.

Later, as family members gathered to perform a funeral for Murmu, the wild tusker appeared once again.

It approached the pyre and grabbed the body, The Print reported. The elephant then trampled on her body again, and threw it away before fleeing.

My zoo psychologist friend told me that elephants to discriminate between people and will lay in wait for nasty keepers. One nasty keeper walked to close to a cage and the elephant grabbed his arm, pulled it between and around the bars and the proceeded to pulp it into goo with its forehead. Another held someone down with one foot and systematically pulled off each arm and leg.

Clearly, in a past life she must have cheated on her husband who had now been reincarnated as an elephant and got to repay her for her transgressions. An elephant never forgets.

I like how the scientists who are interviewed go on about how peaceful, benign and gentle elephants are while the story also talks about another dude who was trampled to death by elephants in the field. It’s a huge pet peve of mine that conservationists don’t want to admit that dangerous wild animals are dangerous.

It’s part of the reason that I believed an envenomated rattlesnake bite would just mean a couple days of uncomfortable swelling and body aches until I was in my mid twenties.

Make Naturalists like Aldo Leopold great again.

If she was trying German irregular verbs on the poor beast, she deserved all she got.

Or maybe he'd just had his fill of Kipling...

Don’t fuck around with tigers. They hold a grudge just like elephants.

His mama was in the next cage giving me a hard eyeball while I played with him and his sibling (out of view in this image).

She looked like she was looking forward to getting a piece of me.
