Another US hunter is suspected of killing a lion without a permit in Zimbabwe, the country's parks authority said Sunday, days after the killing of Cecil the lion by an American dentist caused global outrage. 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 Sibanda's client was an American called Jan Casmir Sieski who travelled to Zimbabwe in April.
"Headman Sibanda's case is in connection with a lion that was killed by the other American (Sieski) in April," parks authority spokeswoman Caroline Washaya-Moyo said. Prince Mupazviriwo, an environment ministry official, said Sibanda had no permit for the hunt.
