One of the world’s leading investigators into the illegal trade in ivory and rhino horn has been killed in Kenya.
Esmond Bradley Martin, age 75, was found with a stab wound to his neck at home in the capital Nairobi on Sunday.
The former UN special envoy for rhino conservation was known for his undercover work establishing black-market prices.
The US citizen had recently returned from a research trip to Myanmar.
According to BBC News, Mr. Martin was in the process of writing up his findings when he died.
His wife found him in their house in Langata. Police are investigating the circumstances but suspect it was a botched robbery.
