[edit] Question
All I want to know is if the persons who killed Joy Adamson (authoress of "Born Free") were ever caught? I have just finished reading her last book "Queen of Shaba" wherein she was doing research on a leopard named Penny - which was never fully completed because of her death. (OhGodhowinthehelldoImailthisnow)???
According to http://www.vayulila.com/TheCave/Voice-Adamsons.html, "a 23 year old former employee Paul Ekai was convicted of the murder, apparently committed after a dispute over money." RickK 01:27, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Apparently [1] since his updated story about the gun, he has recanted again: now he says he had nothing to do with her murder. I think he belongs in prison but it would better suit his hopes of release if he would stick to one story. --Discreetpiratepete (talk) 04:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Guardian interview
Ekai's prison interview claims of shooting joy in a gun battle should be given very little weight, seeing as his claims are totally unsupported by the evidence at the time; most notably the autopsy. Stab wounds might be confused for a lion attack, but gun wounds are unmistakable. My speculation is that he wants parole so he's invented a story to gain sympathy, (but that's just my opinion based on the circumstances). OzoneO 08:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
