Tusker electrocuted; home garden owner arrested
A 56-year-old owner of a home garden was taken into custody on suspicion of laying a live wire that caused the death of a tusker.
The tusker had been electrocuted in the early hours of last morning in a home garden at Nekatunuwewa in Kahatagasdigiliya.
The elephant that had entered the home garden was entangled in the live wire laid by the owner of the land.
Wildlife conservators said the well-grown jumbo had tusks of about 2.4 inches long each.
Anuradhapura wildlife conservators are conducting further investigations. (B.G. Chaturanga)
