The Namibian Police in the Kunene Region have arrested a 41-year-old suspect who allegedly used a steel wire to trap a black-faced impala in the Otjimbundu village of the Ehomba policing area. The crime was discovered when a game guard went to count the impalas and found one impala, valued at N$6,500, trapped with a wire around its neck and fighting for its life. It eventually died. The arrested suspect faces charges of illegally hunting a specially protected game species, killing game by any means other than shooting it, and bringing a snare, trap or apparatus for capture onto any land without permission.
