  "account": "A 66-year-old man, Ghazali Setapa from Kampung Pahi, was tragically killed by an elephant while searching for his missing cow in the Lepan Kabu plantation of Kuala Krai, Malaysia. The incident occurred this afternoon, following a report to the police at 4 pm. Upon arrival, a joint team comprising police, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan), and Civil Defence Force secured the scene and subsequently recovered the victim's remains.\n\nThe victim’s body was subsequently transported to Hospital Sultan Ismail Petra’s Forensic Unit for a post-mortem examination. According to Pahi Mukim chief Mohd Khairul Anuar Mohd Nor, Ghazali had ventured into the plantation accompanied by his two sons and three friends to locate his lost cow. The group disbanded upon entering the area. One member of the group spotted an elephant, prompting the dispatch of a member to alert Perhilitan. Shortly after, they reportedly heard the distinctive sound of an elephant, followed the noise, and discovered the victim, presumed to have been fatally injured by the animal.\n\nWhile elephants have crossed into the area previously, the last encounter with one occurred within the last two to three years. Authorities believe that this particular elephant was temporarily lost as it is not native to the region.",
