How Monkey Mauls Man To Death While Using The Toilet

A man has died after he was attacked by a monkey who left him lying in a pool of his own blood whilst he used the toilet.

Gutyappa Bin Rangappa was bit on the hand by the animal attacker whilst using the loo at his home in Arakere, a village in the Davangere district of Karnataka, India. The bite was so bad that it reportedly caused Gutyappa significant bleeding that eventually led to his death.

The 66-year-old was raced to hospital after the ape’s brutal assault but despite medics working on him he was pronounced dead on Monday (November 13). Authorities said the killer monkey had been terrorising the area in the days before it ambushed Gutyappa and had also attacked another man who survived.

A huge manhunt was launched across the area with 30 people searching to bring the ape to justice. It managed to evade capture for two days after the killing but was eventually captured. The primate will now be sent to India’s Forest Department to be examined by vets.

India has battled monkey attacks for decades and earlier this year officials caught a prolific offender who had a bounty worth hundreds of pounds after it attacked 20 people throughout the country.
