Elephants kill five after locals throw stones

Five people have been trampled to death and one critically injured after wild elephants rampaged through a village in Eastern India.

Reports from agencies say four elephants broke away from their herd and entered the village of Bhatar in West Bengal state on Sunday morning.

West Bengal forest minister Benoy Krishna Burman said the elephants had been angered by the victims, who had thrown stones at them in attempt to scare them away.
