DNA tests delay rhino poaching case

Once the DNA tests are in, the police say they will proceed with the case even without the fifth suspect, a Zimbabwean man suspected to have skipped the country with the rhino horn.

Assistant superintendent Moathodi Ntuane told The Monitor that one of the accuseds was found with meat believed to belong to the dead rhino and the collected samples of the meat were sent for DNA testing.  The tests were conducted in Gaborone and South Africa.
