This ine apparently did: Harare - A rogue buffalo killed three people in Zimbabwe's wildlife-rich Zambezi Valley, including a husband and wife working in their fields, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Thirty-three-year-old Adam Wesile was killed as he tried to rescue his wife Felistas from the buffalo in their cotton field in Mushumbi, northern Zimbabwe, said the Herald.

"When they saw (the buffalo), the couple believed it was a cow resulting in the woman advancing towards it, intending to drive the beast away," the paper reported police spokesperson Michael Munyikwa as saying.

It was, however, too late for the woman to run away when she realised it was a buffalo, the paper said.
