Poachers Flee Naked After Colleague Is Shot Dead By Rangers

A suspected poacher was shot dead in Hwange on Monday night by a team of game ranges and police officers.

Three poachers were reportedly taking a bath while one of them, armed with a rifle was on guard duty.

A firefight between the poachers and the officers resulted in the death of one poacher. The incident was confirmed by Zimbabwe Nationa Parks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo. He said:

Yes, I can confirm that a poacher was shot dead on Monday night in Hwange National Park by our officers, who were on a joint patrol with police.

We are yet to inform the deceased’s next of kin. The patrol team came across four poachers, one keeping watch and armed with a rifle, while the other three were bathing.
