A 77-year-old man who may have been keeping a wild kangaroo as a pet was killed by the animal in south-west Australia, police said.
It was reportedly the first fatal attack by a kangaroo in Australia since 1936. A relative found the man with “serious injuries” at his property in semi-rural Redmond, 250 miles south east of the Western Australia state capital Perth.
The kangaroo was shot dead by police as it was preventing the paramedics from reaching the injured man. Police are preparing a report for a coroner who will record an official cause of death for the man, who died at the scene.
