Lions attacked and killed a tourist while he was showering at an unfenced campsite in a nature reserve in Zimbabwe, officials said today.

Peter Evershed, a 59-year-old Zimbabwean businessman, was mauled by five lions while showering under a tree at the Chitake Springs bush camp, a wildlife viewing area, near the Mana Pools nature reserve, said Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force head Johnny Rodrigues.
