Elephant electrocuted by dangling wires

BANGKOK: -- A four-year-old bull elephant brought by its owner to Bangkok to beg for food was electrocuted yesterday morning.

Suthep Suklert, the keeper and owner of Phlai Toto, said he heard the elephant cry out in pain while grazing in the field in Soi Thian Thalay 7 in Bang Khun Thian district.

He looked and saw the elephant struggling with electrical wires and spewing smoke, before he collapsed and died.

Mr Suthep said electrical wires connected to a house had broken and fallen on Phlai Toto.

He held a funeral rite for the elephant yesterday and plans to take its body home to Surin's Tha Tum district for burial.
