TANZANIAN police on Friday arrested two suspects in connection with the killing of six lions near the Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania on Thursday.
About 100 villagers adjacent to the park killed six lions after they allegedly attacked and killed three donkeys in Olisiti village, Arusha region. The lions killed by villagers were among 12 lions which had strayed from the park.
Christopher Fuime, the acting Manyara regional police commander, said police were holding Lembris Makau, the executive officer of Nkaiti village in Babati district, and Lais Lalioni Laizer, a 54- year-old businessman for questioning.
"The suspects were in possession of firearms during the killing of the lions. We are trying to establish whether the firearms were used to kill the animals," he said.
According to Fuime, two of the lions were shot dead by firearms and the other four were killed by traditional weapons.
Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Lazaro Nyalandu on Thursday announced the launch of a manhunt for ringleaders behind the killing of six lions.
There has been a fall in the number of lions in the Tarangire- Manyara ecosystem with a recent survey showing that the ecosystem has been losing an average of 25 lions annually.
Findings by the Tarangire Lion Project show that 226 lions were killed by livestock keepers in Tanzania between 2004 and 2013.
