Tiger mauls boy to death then kills his grandad hours after escaping nature reserve

A tiger mauled a young boy to death before it turned on his grandfather and killed him after "escaping" a nature reserve in India.

The 75-year-old farmer was tragically found dead on Monday in Karnataka state, south India, a mere 12 hours after his grandson was killed.

The farmer, Raju, died after the tiger grabbed him by the head in a field in Palleri village, Kodagu region, where he had gone to relieve himself — which is normal in rural India, where toilets are scarce.
