CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh, July 11 (AFP) Four members of one family were trampled to death early Friday after a herd of wild elephants strayed into a remote village in southeastern Bangladesh, police said. The incident happened in Banderbon district, around 140 kilometres south of the port city Chittagong, the area's deputy police chief Syed Tariqul Hasan told AFP.

Hasan said a farmer, his wife, their 10-year-old son and five-year-old daughter were killed when the elephants destroyed their home while they were sleeping.
