Sounds like there is more to the story than is reported.

Both father and son were shot dead, were they armed? Did they fight back? If neither why were both shot?

And they were with the actual anti poaching unit and BOTH were shot by a ranger. Mistaken identity my arse.

Father and son on anti-poaching patrol killed by ranger in Zimbabwe

Men shot dead as they stood outside their vehicle in Mana Pools national park, in apparent case of mistaken identity

A man and his son have been shot dead by a wildlife ranger while on an anti-poaching patrol in Zimbabwe, in an apparent case of mistaken identity.

The two were killed in the Mana Pools national park in the north of the country on Sunday.

“Claudio Chiarelli, who was an accomplished professional hunter who brought European tourists to Zimbabwe, was accidentally shot with his son and they both died,” Emmanuel Fundira, head of the Safari Operators Association, said on Monday.

“Claudio and some colleagues were on a trip with a parks anti-poaching unit when a ranger came from nowhere and shot at them while they were standing outside their vehicle. We understand it was a case of mistaken identity.”

Fundira said private individuals regularly assisted Zimbabwean anti-poaching activities by providing logistical support for patrols.

Chiarelli, reportedly from Padua, Italy, had lived in Zimbabwe since 1982 and his son was born in the country, an Italian embassy official said.

Italian media reports said Chiarelli was 50, and named his son Massimiliano, aged 20.

“We can confirm it happened yesterday at Mana Pools national park but we are not aware of the exact details,” said the official. “We are in contact with the family. It’s a tragedy. The loss of a father and a son, and also for Zimbabwe for the bad publicity it will generate.”

The government parks department and police said they were investigating the incident.
