Tiger trap

AUTHORITIES IN northern Malaysia are moving villagers into fenced pens to avoid attack by a man-eating tiger.

Villagers have commissioned a magician or bomoh to lure the tiger into a trap. "The bomoh disguised himself into a tiger and acted the way a tiger will normally do, such as growling, walking and lying down," said a villager. "However, the tiger ran away because someone got scared and switched on a torch."
