Dead wife bait traps killer lion
The lion hid the woman's remains in a bush Tanzanian police have vowed to act after a villager laced with poison his wife's remains to catch a killer lion. Police told the BBC they will wipe out the rogue lions that are terrorising villages in the southern Lindi area.
When Selemani Ngongwechile found his wife's half-eaten body, he calmly poisoned it, knowing the lion would return for the rest of its "meal".
His plan worked, killing the lion, but the police say they will use more orthodox methods.
Lindi local police chief Simon Dau told the BBC that "a few" lions remained in the area and warned villagers to stay inside after dark.
After killing Somoe Abdallah near her home and eating her upper body, the lion might have gone for a drink, he said.
This is when Mr Ngongwechile found her remains hidden in a bush.
But instead of panicking, he put the poison in her corpse and waited inside his house for the lion to return, before informing the authorities.
"Nowadays there are very few animals in the area for the lions to hunt. So instead of starving they decide to kill humans rather than keep on looking for antelopes or deers which are scarce," Commander Dau said.
That makes sense. Hey, a cat's gotta eat.
He also knows to the fullest, if that lion is not killed it will soon return for more blood.
Well this hubby sounds like a pretty cool customer, I gotta give him credit for that.
This man truly lionized his wife.
They're going to pi$$ of PETA.
LOL. I wonder if her name was Leona. Some wives wouldn't have required the addition of any poison.
Well, go with what works is what I say, but then I'm not married...
A truly rip-roaring comment.
But instead of panicking, he put the poison in her corpse and waited inside his house for the lion to return, before informing the authorities.
This is one smart guy. If he had notified the authorities the lion would still be out there on the prowl, with the blessing of the animal rights activists.
This sounds like a Boudreaux joke.
Hmmmm....very very cool husband. Maybe too cool. How do we know he didn't poisen his wife BEFORE the lion(s) came. They were seen in the area after all...
THEN left her out there for bait...seems like a plan.
Oh dear...there's no deer.

Half-eaten wife used as bait to trap killer Tanzania lion
Kind of reminds me of a song by Eric Idle & John Cleese ...
Half a bee, philosophically,
Must, ipso facto, half not be.
But half the bee has got to be
Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?
But can a bee be said to be
Or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee
Due to some ancient injury?
La dee dee, one two three,
Eric the half a bee.
A B C D E F G,
Eric the half a bee.
Is this wretched demi-bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee!
Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
Eric the half a bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Eric the half a bee.
I love this hive, employee-ee,
Bisected accidentally,
One summer afternoon by me,
I love him carnally.
He loves him carnally,
Semi-carnally.
Which reminds me. I have an idea my cats think I kill little metal-shelled animals, crack them open and spoon their guts out on a plate for them.
The guy sounds like a considerate husband. Nothing's more frustrating for a wife than being half-eaten.
Oh how I wished I had thought of that!LOL!
This technique must really cut down on the funeral expenses.
