'Indications found at the scene suggested that a pride of lions had devoured the remains leaving only a human skull and a pair of pants,' SANParks said.
Nelspruit - A human skull found in the Kruger National Park is believed to be that of a man killed by an elephant and then devoured by a pride of lions, according to the SANParks.
Once outside, they reportedly informed a relative of the dead man about their ordeal and police were alerted regarding the incident. A search operation was launched by police and rangers in the mentioned area, whereupon the human skull and pieces of clothing were found. They were remanded in custody and would again appear in the same court on April 12, pending a formal bail application. An inquest was opened in connection with the dead suspect, Hlathi said.
