Following the sad demise of Owain Lewis, it has been aired that a PH in Cameroon has also been killed June the 4th.

Jean Charles Sacaze, formerly gunmaker (gold medal, among the best makers in France (Japaneses say living treasure) in Champagne, got a block in Cameroon and entered in the PH career. He founded Cam safaris. A perfect wet zone for bongo, red buff and sitatunga.

A client wounded a dwarf red buff. As it was in pouring rain, instead of letting the buff cool down from its wound, JC decided to follow up immediately before the rain could washed the track off. Progressing in deep jungle bush (the habitat of the dwarf buff) he was charged and killed.
The dwarf buff is living in dense forest (bako) and should be approached very close to have an opportunity to shoot. To make matter worse this mini-buff is very agressive. For having hunted in this type of jungle, I can assure You that visibility is rarely more than 5m. Luc my cousin and his PH stopped in their progression in dense forest when hearing the clap of élephant's ear. The ele was at 3m and they hadn't see it.
No visibility and the rain muffling any sound, the buff had all the assets.
Jean Charles Sacaze lived the life he has chosen, RIP.
