Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Machinga Senior Resident Magistrate Court on Friday August 26,2022 sentenced a 26-year-old Robert Katsabola to eight years and six months of his productive life in prison after found him guilty of possessing a Rhino horn.<\/p>\n

Katsabola who committed the wildlife Crime was arrested on April 27, 2022 at Ntaja in the district. His arrest followed an undercover mission by Liwonde National Park rangers.<\/p>\n

It is reported that during the mission and recovery of the protected specimen, one of the game rangers identified as Given Gondwe, was killed by an angry mob. Katsabola hails from Wadi Village, Traditional Authority ( T.A) Liwonde in Machinga.<\/p>\n

In Malawi, being found in possession of a rhino horn or any other protected wild life specimen is an offense that contravenes Section 113 of the Wildlife life Act.<\/p>\n
