Trophy hunter who killed lions and elephants is shot dead by robbers who ambushed him when his truck broke down in South Africa

A prolific trophy hunter who slaughtered lions, giraffes and elephants in South Africa has been shot dead at point blank range after his truck broke down.

Riaan Naude, 55, ran the company Pro Hunt Africa which boasts of its 'eco-hunting' while sharing gruesome pictures of dead endangered animals.

He was found dead next to his Toyota in Limpopo after pulling it to the side of the road when it overheated.
