Poachers are as a general rule a pretty distasteful bunch, and those guilty of gunning down helicopter pilot Roger Gower are no different.

The British pilot, tracking the hunting activities of poachers in Tanzania’s Maswa Game Reserve, was shot down over the weekend and died from injuries sustained during his landing.

These tweets below confirming the incident from Tanzanian MP Lazaro Nyalandu:

We can only hope karmic retribution is swift in these circumstances.
