On Monday three suspects aged 27, 36 and 55, appeared before the Tzaneen Magistrate Court in Limpopo on a charge of attempted Poaching and possession of dangerous weapons.
The three were arrested last night at about 19h45 after they allegedly cut the fence of the Letaba River Lodge Game Reserve and gained access to the premises.
The suspects were confronted by security guards who then called the police. They were found in possession of poisoned chicken, a garden cutter and a kitchen knife.
Three lions were killed at the same game reserve in the past two months and their heads and paws removed.
