Poachers plead guilty to taking turtle from marine park
Two poachers have pleaded guilty to taking a protected species – a green sea turtle – from the South South marine park.
Osberne Alex Scott and Shaun Matthias Moore appeared in the dock at the Summary Court before Chief Magistrate Angelyn Hernandez on Tuesday, 9 Sept.
The men had been arrested on 22 Jan. this year after Department of Environment conservation officers recovered the female turtle, which had a number of spear wounds through its shell. The turtle, which was aged between 10 and 15 years old, was still alive, but died a few hours later from its injuries, despite veterinary treatment.
