Zimbabwe hunter who helped kill Cecil the lion, in court on fresh charges

Theo Bronkhorst has been re-arrested and stands accused of 'conspiracy to smuggle' and 'unlawful movement of animals'

The professional hunter who helped an American dentist kill Zimbabwe's popular lion Cecil has appeared in court on new charges of planning to smuggle sable antelope out of the country.

Theo Bronkhorst, 52, was initially arrested on Monday last week in Zimbabwe's second largest city of Bulawayo, after he was linked to a plot to smuggle 29 sable into neighbouring South Africa.
