If this new account of what happened at the Kruger bush-braai is true it means both SAPS and SANParks have put out an untrue version of how the private safari guide came to kill a tourist. The private safari guide has been released on bail pending further investigations...

This puts a very different complexion on the shooting incident itself. If correct it says the version put out by SAPS and SANParks is untrue. And that the victim was not found for 30 minutes after the gunshot went off...
