Life Imprisonment for Two Men Found with Wildlife Trophies in Malindi
Two men jailed for life for possessing wildlife trophies
A Malindi court has sentenced two men to life imprisonment for being in possession of endangered wildlife trophies without a permit. Nzai Kazungu Nzai and Nzai Ruwa Kapombe were found guilty of possessing nine pieces of elephant tusks, one leopard skin, and one cheetah skin.
The Kenya Wildlife Service intercepted the men in January 2025, and they were unable to provide legal documents to justify their possession of the trophies. The court also fined each convict Ksh 20 million, with the option of serving life imprisonment in default of payment.
