Two female tourists, including a British pensioner, have been killed by a charging elephant while on safari in Zambia, police have told the BBC.
Easton Taylor, 68, from the UK, and 67-year-old Alison Taylor from New Zealand were attacked by a female elephant that was with a calf at the South Luangwa National Park, said local police chief Robertson Mweemba.
The two tourists were trampled to death by the nursing elephant after efforts by tour guides to stop it by firing shots.
Both women died at the scene, he said.
