Woman attacked, eaten by lion in her own home

A woman has been eaten by a lion after it escaped from a game reserve in Kenya.

According to The Sun, Martha Nduta was said to have been attacked in her own home, and dragged from the property on Friday.

Officials, who searched the area in the Nyahururu district for her, found only a human skull and a few scraps of bone.

Relatives identified the tragic 58-year-old's body from the remains of her ripped clothes and a shoe found at the scene.

Francio Nyamatari, Laikipia West police chief, said Kenya Wildlife Service rangers are now hunting the male lion as panic-stricken villagers fear it may strike again.
