NO arrests have been made to date since the launch of the investigation following the brutal death of a crowned eagle. The eagle’s death led the greater public to raise funds to find and charge the perpetrator.
The bird was rescued in Malvern on Sunday, 26 July after sustaining three pellet gunshot wounds, one of which, went through the spine leaving it paralysed. The bird had to be humanely euthanised at the Centre for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Crow) due to her paralysis. All credible information was handed over to investigators at Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife who are leading the investigation.
Crow’s long-standing partner Compass Medical Waste Services’ Ian Du Randt, together with a group of donors raised R24 000 reward money for anyone who has credible information that could lead to the prosecution and arrest of the perpetrator.
Crow director, Clint Halkett-Siddall provides a detailed update on the case.
