Kim Kardashian's kids 'kill Elf on the Shelf' before making chilling grave

Kim Kardashian West was left with a chilling message from her children after disaster befell the family’s Elf on the Shelf.

The craze that has swept across the globe, sees Santa’s little helper keeping an eye on the behaviour of children, from inside their homes.

With the elf reporting back as to whether the kids have been naughty or good, there is a grudging respect for them, just in case they are for real and have the ear of Father Christmas.

In return, the elves are known to get up to mischief during the night, which brings great delight to the little ones in the morning.

While this is all very sweet, if a child was to touch one of the elves, then it would bring a premature end to their existence.

This was the scenario in the Kardashian West household today, as reality star Kim, 38, was presented with a dramatic end to the family’s Elf’s life.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star added a photo to her Instagram story of the aftermath of three-year-old Saint West’s interaction with the festive guest.

Kim posted a pic of an Elf on a Shelf laying in a grassy grave with a chilling headstone that was emblazoned with, "RiP".

It would seem that Saint reached out to have a bit more contact with the naughty elf and it ended very badly.

Five-year-old North felt there was only one course of action that could be taken, and that was to make a grave so that the elf could have a proper send-off.

After presenting it to her mum, Kim shared a pic of the grave. She explained what happened, writing: "Saint touched his Elf on the Shelf so North brought this in."

Apart from knowing that you don’t mess with North and Saint, there is now a vacancy for an elf in the Kardashian West household, though this may remain open after news of this demise spreads around the Elf on the Shelf community.
