An entire pride of lions has been brutally murdered by poachers so parts of their bodies could be used in black magic potions. The killers entered a South African game reserve undetected, prompting concerns about an ‘inside job.’

The Head Ranger at the Rietvlei Nature Reserve in Pretoria, South Africa, Bradden Stevens, 33, who spent a third of his life caring for the lions, made the grim and grisly discovery last Thursday.

“Jarvis, Bashi, Tawana and Tau were brutally murdered, in what seems to be a muti [black magic] killing,” Stevens wrote, in a heartfelt Facebook post. “These last few days have been the darkest I have ever experienced.” (RT)
