Tragedy struck in Savarkundla, India, after a boy has been tragically mauled to death by a hungry lion which left behind only his head and legs.
Little three-year-old Nitin Rakeshbhai Mehda became a meal for a big cat in front of his family at a farm in Ghanshyam Nagar in Savarkundla, India.
Emergency services were hurriedly called to track the toddler down after he was snatched by a lion before loved ones in Satishbhai Laljibhai Suhagiya.
An investigation was launched by the local forest department to recover Nitin from wherever the killer beast dumped him but horrifically not all his remains were found.
Nitin’s torso and arms are yet to be unearthed, leading to fears the lion feasted on his helpless body.
Attempts to capture the beast responsible are now underway with forest workers laying traps, which as of Friday evening were yet to prove fruitful.
