JOOS AP Xewafeatures LIZALA (Belgian Congo) ? A mangled body, with th^ heart cut out of it and claw marka of a leopard imprinted in the surround ing ground, meana one thing to Belgian Congo police: The leopard men have struck again. Thla little known secret ?? ctety operating In Central Afri ca clalma dozens of auch victims each year. And work as hard as they will, the police cannot do much about it. The leopardmen seldom leave a witness to testify to their deeds. The reason for the killings is generally thought to be a ritual of nature, in which the human heart plays a part. Victims are evidently chosen haphazardly as was the case of Kungbo Antoirie, a young fisherman of the village of Yembongo near Libenge. He and his friend Kizima Jean were walking along the road cutting the dense forest between Yumpi and Yembongo in November. It was pitch dark. A thunderstorm threstened. Lightning alone flashed from time to time to light en their way. Halfway between the villages, a man suddenly leapt from the un dergrowth brandishing a huge bush knife and wearing a leopard skin. Kizima went down itpmedi .-.'ely from a knife-blow. His friend went to his aid, and was attacked by a second man who leapt from the jungle. Being un armed. he fled, leaving his friend lying on the ground. He spent the night in the guard station of a nearby plantation, but did not say a word about the attack. That is one more difficulty the police run up against in dealing with the leopardmen. Nobody will tei^ify. Next morning passers-by on the road discovered large blood stains and parts of human intestines. Following the macabre traces into the surrounding bush, they discov ered the remains of Kizima. Only his torso remained. Deeply im printed on the body were the marks of claws. Human foot prints and leopard pawmarks were visible around the body, and the heart was missing. Apart from a i pair of trouaers carefully folded under a tree nothing else was found. The trousers clue was evi dence that human beings had committed the murder. No ani mal, however crafty, can fold up ( a pair of trousers. A judicial inquiry was immedi ately opened but without little hope of success. The survivor either could not or would not iden tify the attackers. He was one of the few to have got away with his life in a leopardman attack. He was not going to leave himself open to reprisals. OCRACOKE, Jan. 7 ?
