NAIROBI: The director of one of Kenya’s best-known ranches was trampled to death by an elephant on Wednesday, wildlife authorities said. The victim, Gilfred Powys, was a director at the 43,000 acre Suyian Ranch in central Laikipia. His family moved from Britain to Kenya in 1914, according to the ranch website. “He is dead after being attacked by an elephant,” said Kenya Wildlife Services official Richard Chepkwony. A senior police officer said Powys was trampled while trying to scare away elephants that were destroying a dam wall.
