Mark Scott-Crossley who is one of the men who threw a worker’s body to the lions in Hoedspruit in 2004 is now a free man.
Sarie Peens who is the Spokesperson for correctional services stated that Scott-Crossley's last day of parole was on the 29th of September.
Scott-Crossley was in 2005 sentenced to a life imprisonment, for assaulting and throwing Nelson Chisale who is a former employee to the lions.
The Supreme Court of Appeals in Bloemfontein in 2007 set aside his murder conviction for the death of Nelson Chisale.
This was due to the fact that the prosecution could not prove beyond reasonable doubt that Nelson Chisale was alive when he was thrown into the lion’s enclosure.
