A South African farmer has been sentenced to life imprisonment for killing one of his workers by throwing him into a Lion enclosure.
Mark Scott-Crosley and his employee Simon Mathebula attacked Nelson Chisale with machetes before throwing him into a Lion reserve early last year.
A skull found among the lions was later used as evidence. A South African High Court Judge described the killing as one of the most gruesome he has
ever been faced with.
