" Leopard kills 13-year-old girl in Nepal

A wild leopard has killed a 13-year-old girl who was sleeping with her mother at their home in a remote village in far-western Nepal, local police say.

The girl and her mother had kept the door of their home open to allow cold air in on Tuesday when the animal attacked the teenager, says Bhim Bahadur Bani, a local police officer.

"The animal dragged the girl 100 metres away from her home to a farm," he told dpa.

Her mother cried out for her, but when her neighbours arrived at the scene, the animal had already fled, leaving the dead girl behind, he added.

The local police handed the victim's body to her family after an autopsy at a hospital in Mangalsen, the headquarters of Accham district, where the incident occurred.

Conflict between wild animals and humans has increased in recent months in Nepal, raising concerns about the safety of people living near forests and national parks."
