TREMBLING with fear and tethered to the floor of a squalid cage, tiny orangutan Peni clings to her mum's tortured body.
Our shock picture captures the last tragic minutes of the adult ape's life - after a frenzied mob beat her, pelted her with rocks then tried to drown her in a swimming pool.
Her crime? She was caught scavenging for fruit to feed her malnourished daughter on the outskirts of a ramshackle village in Borneo. 2011Wall Photos
