Ein bisschen ausführlicher - und ein guter Reminder für alle von uns, die auch in dieser oder ähnlichen Gegend, die die Heimat von potentiell gefährlichen Tieren sind, wild campen, vielleicht doch etwas vorsichter die Dach- und Bodenzelte zu verlassen:
Prominent businessman killed by lion near Sesfontein
The tourism ministry and police have confirmed that a prominent Namibian businessman, Bernd Kebbel (59), was killed by a lioness in the early hours this morning in the Kunene Region.
Kebbel, the former owner of Off-Road Centre, who is also known in desert lion research circles, was camping with his wife, Conny, and a group of friends in the Hoanib River near Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in the Sesfontein area.
Kebbel apparently climbed down from the rooftop of his tent early this morning and was pulled down by a lioness and attacked and bitten in the neck. A spokesperson for the tourism ministry, Ndeshipanda Hamunyela, said that although Kebbel’s friends were able to chase the lioness away, it was unfortunately too late and he was already dead. She confirmed that officials from the ministry were at the scene.
According to Namibian police spokesperson Inspector Immanuel Iiduwa, a case of human-wildlife conflict has been opened in the Kunene Region.
“Police members are on the scene and a full report will follow later,” Iiduwa said.
