Zimbabwean officials claim American dentist killed Cecil the lion
The Zimbabwean lion who was killed earlier this month after being lured off a national park is reported to have been killed by a dentist from Minnesota.
Earlier reports suggested that a Spaniard was responsible for killing the Cecil the lion, who was beloved by both locals and tourists, but both the Telegraph and the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force have today identified the man responsible as Walter Palmer, a dentist from a small town near Minneapolis.
