The Tsavo lions were man-eaters. Man-eaters have human victims.

I seem to remember a hand or arm mentioned in the book. Perhaps recovered otherwise being carried in the lions mouth. Certainly in Corbett's books there is a mention of a mandated tiger carrying an arm. Different story.
Simple fact man eaters eat humans. Gruesome but true. A reason for the fame of the story.
Found this from the "Maneaters of Tsavo":
Quote:
The legs, one arm and half the body had been eaten, and it was the stiff fingers of the other arm trailing along the sand which had left the marks we had taken to be the trail of a wounded lion.
