Phurba Tamang (14) of Chaurikharka-8 today killed a leopard and saved the life of her mother, Sommaya.
Recounting her experience, the girl said she hit the animal, which was in the pen, on its head with a chop of firewood after it attacked her mother.
“I hit the animal on its head till it stopped attacking my my mother. And when it fell on the ground, I hit it with the firewood till it died,” said Phurba.
After killing the animal, Phurba called the neighbours to rush her mother to hospital. Sommaya is receiving treatment at Lukla Hospital. The dead adult leopard was handed over to Sagarmatha National Park officials. Game scout of the park, Padam Rai, said the leopard was buried in the presence of police and locals. Rai said no action will be taken against Tamang as she had killed the animal in self-defence.
