Inside the world of trophy hunting
Cecil the lion: 'We knew this is how he would die'
Story highlights
• Cecil 's killing has devastated researchers who track lions in Zimbabwe
• Although Cecil's death sparked global fury, many Zimbabweans see lions as a threat
• Many say world should focus less on lions and more on plight of Zimbabwe's people
Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe (CNN)Brent Stapelkamp is looking for Jericho. He raises a blue VHF receiver and twirls it above his head. All we hear is static.
I am not getting anything, he says.
We are standing together on a railway line on the edge of Hwange National Park in western Zimbabwe. On one side of the tracks, the animals are protected. On the other, they can be shot. Jericho has moved to the other side.
When we look at our satellite images or listen to the signals and see that the lions have moved across, there is definitely a knot in our stomach, says Stapelkamp.
For nine years Stapelkamp, a field researcher with an Oxford University-funded project, has been tracking the lions of Hwange. He knows more than 200 by sight and by name.
But one lion was always his favorite: a black-maned male called Cecil who, in death, has perhaps become the world's most famous lion.After years of working in near anonymity, Stapelkamp has been at the center of a story that has touched a nerve around the world. The killing of Cecil, a protected animal, sparked international outrage that quickly reached the doorstep of hunter Walter Palmer, who has gone into hiding.
Palmer, an American dentist, allegedly paid around $50,000 to kill Cecil. Park officials claim the hunt was illegal, but Palmer says he did nothing wrong.
Stapelkamp isn't so sure.
I am quite sure that he knew what he was doing, he tells CNN. He came for the biggest lion he could find and that had been organized for him. Cecil was delivered to him like a pizza.
Journalists have descended into this corner of Zimbabwe, searching for the cubs that Cecil left behind.
Experts feared the cubs would be killed as part of a power struggle over the pride but Jericho, who ran the pride with Cecil, appears to have taken them in.
Last week several of the cubs were reportedly spotted, alive and well, with the lionesses of the pride by a safari tour in the park.
In early July, the 13-year-old lion was lured out of the park with food, shot with a crossbow, tracked for 40 more hours, then finished off with a gun, authorities say.
Cecil was skinned, his head reportedly cut off as a trophy. It was a tragic end for the much-loved lion, if not an altogether surprising one for those who knew him best.
A big lion like Cecil, if you ask us, we probably knew that is how he was going to die, Stapelkamp says.

CCTV of Oxford assault
A man has been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment following an assault on a police officer, PC Raymond Tse, who was on duty at the time.
Demitre Clarke-Oliver, aged 24, of Kennet Walk, Reading, pleaded guilty on 3 October at Oxford Magistrates’ Court to a section 20 GBH and was sentenced yesterday (8/12) at Oxford Crown Court.
He was arrested, charged on 1 October 2016 and remanded in custody following an assault on PC Tse at around 3.15am on the same day in Hythe Bridge Street, Oxford.
At the time, PC Tse was with two other officers, responding to a call from a member of the public.
Clarke-Oliver assaulted the officer while he was detaining an offender and the injuries PC Tse sustained during this assault resulted in two fractures to his jaw. PC Tse had to undergo an operation to insert two plates and eight pins to reconstruct his jaw following the assault.
Investigating officer Det Con Neil Rudge, from Oxford Local CID, said: “This was a cowardly act and assaults on police will not be tolerated.”
Supt Joe Kidman, LPA Commander for Oxford, said: “To attack a police officer is a cowardly and despicable act. PC Tse was responding to a call from the public at the time, and despite the calm and professional conduct from the officers, Clarke – Oliver attacked PC Tse from behind without provocation or warning and then ran away. He then threatened another officer before being subdued and arrested. It is to PC Tse’s great credit that despite the serious injury to his jaw he assisted in this arrest.
“This incident is a sobering reminder of the risks that our officers willingly take every day and night to keep our city safe. We are also reminded of the impact this has on our officer’s families and loved ones who provide such valuable support despite knowing the risks they face.
“The blind side punch broke PC Tse’s jaw in two places and he has suffered a great deal of pain and discomfort with typical fortitude and bravery. He looks forward to returning to his role on the front line as soon as possible, the job that he loves protecting and helping the people of our city.
“Being attacked and seriously injured should never be considered an occupational hazard of serving the public as a police officer - the Judge’s comments and the custodial sentence he has imposed makes this very clear.”
Speaking following the sentencing, PC Raymond Tse said, “violence against anyone is never acceptable and, in our role as Thames Valley Police officers, we work very hard to ensure that those who carry out assaults are brought before the courts to face justice. In this incident myself and the other officers attending were in the process of arresting another man in connection with a separate violent assault against a member of the public. While we were in the process of doing this, I was unexpectedly struck by Clarke-Oliver’s fist which he slammed in to the side of my face, causing me a lot of pain. He ran away however my colleague and myself were able to apprehend and arrest him to carry out our duty to protect the public, ensuring no one else was subjected to this kind of assault. I hope to be able to return to work as soon as possible once my injuries have recovered further.”
Demitre Clarke-Oliver, aged 24, of Kennet Walk, Reading, pleaded guilty on 3 October at Oxford Magistrates’ Court to a section 20 GBH and was sentenced yesterday (8/12) at Oxford Crown Court.
At the time of the assault, PC Raymond Tse was on duty with two other officers, responding to a call from a member of the public.

Breaking the Bullingdon Club Omertà: Secret Lives of the Men Who Run Britain
Vandalism, blood, and hookers. A Daily Beast investigation exposes the best-kept secrets of Britain’s most powerful men; the hidden archive; the club’s latest outbreak of destruction; new heavyweight members named and Prime Minister David Cameron’s hushed-up past.
OXFORD — The tablecloth was drenched in red wine and blood; broken plates littered the floor and a young man in a $5,000 suit lay unconscious.
Strewn across the Tudor room at the luxury Manor hotel in north Oxfordshire was proof that Oxford University’s notorious Bullingdon Club is still raising hell in 2015, despite claims that their excesses had been checked by negative publicity and mortified former members. “They walked in here as if they were the Royal Family”, John Wood, one of the waiters that served them, told The Daily Beast. “One half were drinking themselves silly, the other half smashing up the crockery.”
The 15 students were served 24 bottles of red wine, 24 bottles of white wine, and plenty of champagne. The damage they inflicted ran into hundreds of dollars.
After three years as a student at Oxford, this was my first glimpse of the Bullingdon in action as part of an unprecedented investigation into the drinking society’s past and present, which is based on discoveries from the archives and interviews with recent and former club members.
Three of the most powerful men in Britain today—the prime minister, the chancellor of the Exchequer, and the mayor of London—were all members, joining an illustrious list of alumni that includes ambassadors, countless CEOs, titans of the financial industry, and four kings. Because the members swear a code of silence, or “omertà,” when initiated, the club has been shrouded in mystery until now.
The night at the Manor began at around half past nine on a cold night in February, a beaten up minibus arrived at the hotel in Weston on the Green, north Oxfordshire. They swaggered out, tipsy from the Dom Pérignon they’d enjoyed on the ride. They’d been picked up from a secret location on Walton Street in the Oxford suburb of Jericho wearing their outfits from Oxford tailor Ede and Ravenscroft.
A set of club rules from 1850, found in a small blue booklet with gold embossed letters and yellowed with age, describes the very same outfit they wear to this day. “The Uniform of the club,” it says, “shall consist of a Blue Tie, Blue Coat, Brass Buttons, Buff Waistcoat, Blue Trousers.”
Oxford establishments won’t have them. The Kings Arms, a popular student pub, banned them from entering the building when the Bullingdon boys started a fire in one of the rooms and smashed an antique mirror in 2006. That was just a friendly drink. Their organized events—known as “blinds”—have been banished from the city for more than 100 years. They were ordered not to hold any meetings within 15 miles of central Oxford in 1894 after smashing all 534 windows in Peckwater, a quad in Christ Church, the grandest of Oxford’s colleges.
Among this year’s vintage were the sons of some of Britain’s wealthiest and best-connected men. Based on the club’s history, one of them could well be ruling Britain within the next few decades.

Stratford Literary Festival 2011- Colin Dexter Highlights
Colin Dexter is a crime fiction grandee. He started writing mysteries in 1972 during a family holiday in North Wales. 'The children were moaning ... I was sitting at the kitchen table with nothing else to
do, and I wrote the first few paragraphs of a potential detective novel.'
Last Bus to Woodstock was published in 1975 and introduced the world to the character of Inspector Morse, the irascible detective whose penchants for cryptic crosswords, English literature, cask ale and Wagner reflect Dexter's own enthusiasms. The success of the 33 episodes of the TV series Inspector Morse, produced between 1987 and 2001, brought further acclaim for Dexter. In the manner of Alfred Hitchcock, he also makes a cameo appearance in almost all episodes. He has won many awards for his novels including the CWA Gold Dagger and Silver Dagger awards. In 1997 he was presented with the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger Award for outstanding services to crime literature. Colin's thirteenth and final Inspector Morse novel, The Remorseful Day, was published
in 1999. He will be taking us on a highly entertaining journey with Morse, From Book To Box.
