A giraffe suspected of killing a US pastor at a luxury Kenya hotel jumped to his death from a cliff after resisting attempts to examine its hooves for bloodstains, the hotel manager said today.
"The giraffe was darted and I am told it went over the side of a cliff," Aberdare Country Club general manager James Drysdale told AFP.
Police said an aroused giraffe was the prime suspect in the death on Sunday of a middle-aged American pastor resident in Kenya who was found in the hotel's private game sanctuary.
The suspected rogue giraffe was tracked down and caught by Kenya Wildlife Service officials who injected it with a tranquiliser.
