The lioness that mauled a Kuwaiti national to death on Tuesday had attacked people on two other occasions, its owner told Saudi police.
The wild animal had been smuggled from Kuwait into Saudi Arabia and kept by the owner until Tuesday, when it attacked his friend and killed him.
“I left her with my friend and went to do some grocery shopping,” he said. “When I came back, I found that she had broken loose from the rope and attacked my friend, breaking his neck and starting to eat parts of his thigh. I was so angry I stabbed her and killed her,” he said, quoted by Saudi news site Al Marsad on Thursday.
