A man\u2019s badly trampled body was found in Kruger National Park on Saturday (Picture: AP)A suspected poacher was trampled to death by elephants while fleeing from wildlife rangers.
\nThe badly injured body of a man was found in the southern portion of Kruger National Park in South Africa on Saturday.
\nHe is thought to have been hunting rhinos along with two other men, before rangers discovered their tracks and chased them.
\nThey captured one suspected poacher after using helicopters and dogs to hunt the party down.
\nHe told them he feared one of his group had been killed after they ran into a herd of elephants and their calves.
\nRangers discovered a dead body after re-tracing the group\u2019s steps. They also allegedly found a bag containing a rifle, an axe and other items.
\nPolice are currently hunting the third suspect who is believed to have an injured eye.
\nManaging Executive of the Kruger National Park, Gareth Coleman, said: \u2018Ee are proud of the teamwork and dedication of our Rangers Corp, our aviators and the K9 unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police are hunting the third alleged poacher\u2018It is unfortunate that a life was unnecessarily lost. Only through discipline, teamwork and tenacity will we be able to help stem the tide of rhino poaching in KNP.\u2019
\nHe has called on anyone with information on the alleged third poacher to come forward.
\nMr Coleman said: \u2018The campaign against poaching is the responsibility of all us; it threatens many livelihoods, destroys families and takes much-needed resources to fight crime which could be used for creating jobs and development.\u2019
\nKruger National Park is one of Africa\u2019s largest game reserves. It has a number of wild animals including lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos.
