Man-Eater Tiger Found Dead With Injuries In Wayanad

A 'man-eater' tiger that killed a woman when she had gone to collect coffee beans in a forest-fringed estate two days ago was found dead in Kerala's high-range district of Wayanad in the early hours of Monday, forest officials said.

The death of the woman triggered widespread protest in the area, forcing the state government to declare the tiger as a man-eater on Sunday and schedule it for culling.

Forest officials who were engaged in combing operation day and night to spot the animal, found it dead with deep injuries on its neck inside Pilakavu Estate by 2.30 am on Monday.
