The man who was killed by a group of lions in a private
game reserve near Hoedspruit, has been identified as a 50-year-old from
Mozambique.
A statement issued on Wednesday by police spokesperson of
the the South African Police, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, said three
suspected illegal poachers were attacked by a group of lions.
During this attack, the deceased was killed and eaten by
the lions while the other two suspects managed to escape the attack and
fled back to their home country, Mozambique. Read full statement below:
"The incident occurred on 2018-02-09 when it is believed
that three suspected illegal poachers were attacked by a group lions and
during that incident, the deceased was killed after being mauled by
these lions."
The other two managed to escape the attack and fled back to
their home country, Mozambique. They then reported the ordeal to the
family.
The deceased was positively identified yesterday on
2018-02-13 at Maphutha Malatji Hospital Motuary in Namakgale outside
Phalaborwa by his sister-in-law who is staying in South Africa at
Humulani village in the Lulekani Policing area outside Phalaborwa.
The Sister alleged that she received a call from her family
members in Mozambique who gave her the report from the two men that the
deceased was killed by lions in South Africa and she must go and check
with the Police.
She confirmed to the family that she also heard over the
radio that there is an unknown person who was killed by lions and
community members who can assist with his identification, may go to
Hoedspruit Police Station and she subsequently went to the Police
Station and further proceeded to the Hospital mortuary.
The deceased was then identified as David Baloyi aged 50 years from Masingiri area at Mavudza Village in Mozambique.
The police are still investigating the possibility that the
deceased might have been a poacher after a hunting rifle and ammunition
were found in the vicinity of the scene.
Subsequent to this gruesome discovery, the police in
Hoedspruit outside Phalaborwa have since opened an inquest case for
further investigations.
Police investigations are still continuing.
