A South African farmer and three others have been charged with murder, accused of feeding an ex-worker to lions.
The four were arrested on Monday after police found a human skull and pieces of a leg in a lion enclosure.
Witnesses told police that Nelson Shisane, 38, was assaulted, tied up and driven to a lion breeding project, where he was thrown over the fence.
Mr Shisane, who had been sacked last year, had apparently returned to the farm, to collect his belongings.
He was reported missing by his family on 8 February.
