Rhino horn trial to begin in June
The trial of three Chinese men, who were arrested with 14 rhino horns at Hosea Kutako International Airport last year, will start in June. The case has been postponed to June 25 and 26 for plea and trial in the Windhoek Regional Court in Katutura. Li Xiaoliang, Li Zhibing and Pu Xuexin were caught with 14 rhino horns valued at N$2.3 million, as well as a leopard skin valued at N$50 000, in their luggage on March 23 last year. The three Chinese nationals have maintained that they did not know what was in their suitcases. In December last year their case was transferred to the Windhoek Regional Court in Katutura and they were supposed to appear in court yesterday. However, due to administrative issues they made an earlier appearance on January 16 before Magistrate Dinnah Usiku and the case was postponed until June.
