KUANTAN: An Orang Asli teenager was killed after he was attacked by an elephant in a durian orchard in Kampung Tual at Pos Sinderut near Kuala Lipis.
Lipis district police chief Supt Azli Mohd Noor said the police were informed of the attack that killed Andy Yok Manin, 15, at 4.30pm Monday (Jan 9) by the village's tok batin.
