Kothagudem: A tiger on the prowl has killed a goat in the forests at Pedda Gollagudem village of Dammapet mandal in the district during late evening hours of Wednesday.

According to the forest officials the incident occurred when a shepherd was returning home along with a herd of goats and sheep of a farmer N Srinivas Rao. The incident caused panic among the villagers.

The forest department would pay proper compensation for the cattle killed by the tiger.
