Leopard kills fifth girl in western Nepal

KATHMANDU (BNO NEWS) -- A teenage girl was killed by a leopard in the district of Baitadi in western Nepal on Wednesday, the fifth such incident in two months, local media reported on Thursday.

The 14-year-old girl was mauled to death by a leopard in the village of Pancheshwor on Wednesday when she was busy cutting grass in the jungle. She is the fourth person to be killed by a leopard in Pancheshwor village, the Republica newspaper reported.

Locals said three girls and a pregnant woman were also killed by the leopard within the last two months. They also claim three other people have also been killed in nearby Indian villages, but authorities have not confirmed this or whether the same leopard is involved.

Villagers have urged authorities to take the leopard under control. "We are scared to walk alone," said Shiva Singh Saud, principal of the Bhumiraj Primary School in Pancheshwor. "More people may be attacked if the leopard is not taken under control immediately."

Last year, seven persons were killed by leopards in the same district.
