A Zimbabwe court has delayed the trial for a Zimbabwean hunter accused of helping to kill a beloved wild lion called Cecil.

Magistrate Lindiwe Maphosa said she has delayed the trial of Theodore Bronkhorst until late next month.

The man’s lawyer told reporters that he had sought the postponement. American hunter Walter Palmer shot and killed the lion last month. He is believed to have paid Mr. Bronkhorst $55,000 for safari guide services connected to the killing. Zimbabwean officials say the hunt was illegal.
