Poachers have killed a rhino and a three-year-old calf on a private game farm in Brits in North West.

The police’s national wildlife crime unit says both animals had been shot in the head and had both horns sawn off.

Police were called in after the farm owner heard gunshots and the sound of a chainsaw early Wednesday evening.

Tracker dogs found the carcasses. Police have found some evidence which they hope will help them track the poachers.
