A tiger killed three people in Bangladesh before villagers trapped the animal and beat it to death on Saturday, police said. The tiger stormed into the village late on Friday, killing the three people, then continued to roam the settlement until panicked villagers regrouped and lured it into a trap.
The incident occurred at a remote village near Shamnagar Police Station, near the Sundarbans mangrove forests, 400 km (250) miles south-west of the capital Dhaka. The Sundarbans is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the Royal Bengal tigers.
"The angry villagers beat the tiger to death," a forest official said. "It was not possible to save it and send it back to the forests as the people were agitated beyond control."
