Leopardmeo Bring
Terror to Heart
Of Belgian Congo
By WILUAM ANDERSON
and J. 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.
