A Zimbabwe court has sentenced a poacher to more than 15 years in prison for poisoning and killing elephants with cyanide, the fourth such conviction in the country in a month.
The court in the western town of Hwange also found Akim Masuku, guilty of illegal possession of ivory, handing down a total jail term of 15-and-a-half years.
He still still faces separate charges for cyanide possession and for contravening environmental laws.
The case comes after the Parks and Wildlife Authority said 100 elephants had been killed by cyanide for their ivory in a single national park in just over a month.
Three other poachers were sentenced in September to a minimum of 15 years each for poisoning 81 elephants.
