Raging bear kills two in theatre

From correspondents in Moscow
04 December 2003

A PERFORMING bear mauled two Moscow theatre workers to death and wounded another after he broke out of his cage overnight, police said.

The bear, named Dodon and a star attraction in the Russian capital's famed animal theatre Ugolok Durova, became enraged and fatally attacked 33-year-old Umar Zakirov, the RIA-Novosti news agency quoted police officials as saying.


Bears are among the strongest animals on the planet.

He then set upon Zakirov's colleague Shedov Timur, 32, who also met an untimely end. A third theatre worker was bitten on the wrist.

"The bear tore two people to pieces and wounded a third," a police spokesman said, adding that the beast was now back in its cage.

Ugolok Durova is one of the most popular attactions for children in the Russian capital.
