Another US hunter 'kills' lion in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe National Parks has said another US hunter is suspected of killing a lion in Zimbabwe.
 
This follows the outcry over the killing of Cecil the lion by an American dentist, Walter James Palmer.

A government statement said a crackdown since Cecil's killing had led to the arrest of safari organiser Headman Sibanda on allegations of breaching hunting regulations.

It said his client was an American called Jan Casmir Sieski who was in Zimbabwe in April.

"Headman Sibanda's case is in connection with a lion that was killed by the other American (Sieski) in April," said spokeswoman Caroline Washaya-Moyo.

Zimparks also announced a ban on the hunting of lions, leopards and elephants outside Hwange National Park following the illegal killing of Cecil.
