PRACHIN BURI: Wildlife officials have captured "Sidor Noke", a roaming bull elephant who has been raiding farms in Krabin Buri district and killed one villager and returned him to his home in Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary.

While on the run, the solitary elephant was blamed for the death of a 73-year-old woman foraging in the forest and caused extensive damage to orchards and field crops.

On March 15, Rungnapha Pattanaipul, deputy chief of the National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department, signed an order for his capture and return to the sanctuary.
