The news that a zoo-keeper was killed at Hamerton Zoo Park yesterday has shocked many around the country.

However, it's not the first time an animal has escaped its enclosure or attacked and killed a human.

Hamerton itself hit the headlines nearly 10 years ago after a cheetah escaped from its enclosure. Toby Taylor, who was nine at the time and lived with his family near to the zoo, encountered the escaped animal in his back garden.

Keepers collected the three-year-old cheetah, which was thought to have escaped through a faulty electric fence, a short time later.

Four years ago, 24-year-old keeper Sarah McClay died after being mauled by a Sumatran tiger at South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria. The zoo was fined £255,000 following her death, plus an additional £42,500 fine after it admitted other health and safety breaches when a zookeeper fell from a ladder while preparing to feed big cats in July 2014.

Last October, ZSL London Zoo was put on lockdown after Kumbuka the silverback gorilla managed to exit his enclosure through two security doors that had been left unlocked by a keeper.

Armed police were called to the central London attraction and the zoo was evacuated when the alarm was raised.

The latest zoo death comes a year after the death of a gorilla called Harambe, who was shot when a three-year-old boy fell into his Cincinnati Zoo enclosure.

Philip Caso, a 20-year-old zoology student from Peterborough, got to know Ms King through doing work experience at the zoo each summer. In a tribute on Facebook he wrote: "I'm literally devastated to hear that one of the most inspirational women I knew died at Hamerton Zoo.

"Rosa loved and respected those animals to the point where each and every one was like a child to her. Her passion for her job has really inspired me and I was just glad I got the chance to know her.

"Thinking of all the other keepers."

Photographer Hollie Gordon, who said she became friends with Ms King through visits to the zoo, said: "Her passion for the animals, the zoo and conservation really shone through. She loved them all!"

Cambridgeshire's Coroner's Office have told us a post-mortem examination has not yet been carried out on the body of Rosa King, the zoo-keeper killed by a tiger at Hamerton Zoo Park, external yesterday.

But a spokeswoman for Magpas Air Ambulance, which attended, said Miss King "sustained fatal injuries" in the attack.

An inquest into her death is expected to be opened next week.

There's quite a lot of cloud around but I think as the day continues we'll see some bright spells coming through, not lots and lots of sunshine but some breaks in the cloud through the day.

There may be an occasional touch of drizzle, maybe the odd light shower but nothing more than that.

Top temperature across the BBC East region 19C (66F).
