The chief of the San Kila Khiri national park in Songkhla in the far south of Thailand said that a force of 90 people had been mobilized to investigate the death of two fully grown elephants. 

 

They are believed to have been killed for their ivory tusks, Saksit Khunnarong told Thai PBS online.  

 

One was found apparently shot in the back with its tusks removed. It had been dead about a month and only bones remained. 

 

The other was near the Thai-Malaysian border raising the question that the poachers concerned had slipped over the border in the wild area where 25 elephants live in dense forests.
