14-year-old Girl Snatched From Farm And K!lled By Lion In Kenya

A 14-year-old girl was reportedly snatched from a ranch and mauled to de@th by a lion.

The teenager’s remains were discovered by rangers after they followed the animal’s bloodied tracks to a nearby river in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) said the lion jumped over a makeshift fence and took the girl from a compound south of a national park on the outskirts of Nairobi, the Kenyan capital.

The wild cat had entered the compound and attacked the girl, who was with another teenager at the time.

The teenager immediately called for help, and KWS rangers rushed to find the girl.

They traced bloodstains all the way to the Mbagathi River, where the 14-year-old’s dead body was recovered with injuries on her lower back.

The lion remains on the loose, with rangers setting traps to try to catch it again.

Further security measures, including electric fencing and AI-powered early warning systems, are also being implemented to protect local communities.

Nairobi National Park is home to lions, buffalo, giraffes, leopards and cheetahs – and is just six miles from the city centre.

While it is fenced on three sides, the park is open to the south to facilitate animal migration.

The lion attack came just one day after another fatal animal encounter in the country.

An elephant fatally injured a 54-year-old man in a forest in Kenya’s Nyeri County, 80 miles north of Nairobi.

He d!ed from severe chest injuries, fractured ribs and internal trauma sustained during the attack, KWS said.
