Elephant kills 2 female tourists from the U.K. and New Zealand in Zambian national park
LUSAKA, Zambia — Two elderly female tourists in Zambia were killed by an elephant Thursday while on a walking safari in a national park, police said. Eastern Province Police Commissioner Robertson Mweemba said the victims — 68-year-old Easton Janet Taylor from the U.K. and 67-year-old Alison Jean Taylor from New Zealand — were attacked by a female elephant that was with a calf. Safari guides who were with the group attempted to stop the elephant from charging at the women by firing shots at it, police said. The elephant was hit and wounded by the gunshots. The guides were unable to prevent the elephant's attack and both women died at the scene, police said. It happened at the South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, around 600 kilometres (370 miles) from the capital, Lusaka. Female elephants are very protective of their calves and can respond aggressively to what they perceive as threats. Last year, two American tourists were killed in separate encounters with elephants in different parts of Zambia. In both cases, the tourists were also elderly women and were on a safari vehicle when they were attacked.

Montreal mom who allegedly abandoned daughter on Ontario highway charged with criminal negligence
A Montreal mother accused of abandoning her three-year-old child on the side of a highway last month is back in court Thursday and is facing an additional criminal offence. The 34-year-old woman was arrested June 16 after reporting her daughter missing the day before in Coteau-du-Lac, Que., triggering a massive police search. She was later charged with child abandonment. The young girl was found alive on June 18 on the side of Highway 417 near St. Albert, Ont., about 150 kilometres west of the family home in Montreal. The girl's mother returned to the Valleyfield courthouse Thursday for a bail hearing and was charged with one count of causing bodily harm by criminal negligence. According to a charge sheet, she is accused of failing to 'provide the necessaries of life for a child' under the age of 16 as a parent, which is an offence in the Criminal Code. The name of the woman cannot be published in order to respect the privacy of the child, whose identity is protected by a publication ban. There is also a standard publication ban prohibiting any information relating to evidence presented in court from being released. The Crown prosecutor is opposed to releasing the mother from custody. Her bail hearing continues Thursday afternoon. This is a developing story that will be updated.
