DODOMA, Tanzania (AP) — A court in Tanzania on Friday sentenced a notorious poacher nicknamed "The Devil Has No Mercy" to 12 years in prison.
Boniface Methew Malyango was the subject of a documentary last year, "The Ivory Game," produced by actor Leonardo DiCaprio and others.
Malyango was sentenced by a magistrate's court in the capital, Dodoma, after being convicted of leading organized crime. He is nicknamed "Shetani Hana Huruma" in the local Swahili language.
He was sentenced alongside his brothers Lucas Mathayo Malyango and Abdallah Ally Chaoga.
