Donkey strangles boy to death

Little did a four-year-old boy realise that he would have to pay with his life for teasing the donkey owned by his family.

The boy, Tadiwa Moyo, was strangled to death in a bizarre incident while he was playing with the donkey, without any kind of parental supervision, reports New Zimbabwe.

The tragedy occurred when the donkey in his efforts to get away from the boy's 'childish advances' entangled the rope around him. The animal who was anchored to  a tree used his strength to break off from the tree and ended up dragging the entangled child for a few metres.

The boy's mother discovered his lifeless body with the rope tied around his neck. The donkey was nowhere to be seen.
