A lion whose attack on a British wildlife park owner in South Africa was recorded in a graphic video has been killed.

A staff member at Marakele Predator Centre in Limpopo province killed the lion after it mauled Michael Hodge, the owner of the facility, the News24 media outlet reported.

A video shows Mr Hodge walking in an enclosure behind the lion and then running for an exit when the creature turns and chases him. The lion quickly drags him towards some bushes.
