Tragic end as crocodile claims young life in Sarawak
A terrible tragedy occurred in Malaysia, where, according to local media, a huge crocodile attacked a 6-year-old girl. Emergency services were immediately called to the scene, but they were unable to save the victim. The attack happened in front of the child's grandfather and sister.
Media in Malaysia reported on the tragedy that took place on Friday, 27th September, in the state of Sarawak. A tragic encounter with a giant crocodile targeted a family relaxing by the water. The victim was 6-year-old Cecelia, who at one point disappeared underwater.
At the same time, the girl’s grandfather and sister witnessed the attack. Sadly, the man's quick reaction could not prevent the tragedy. Emergency services were summoned to the scene, and they began searching for the crocodile.
Experts from the Sarawak Forestry Corporation searched the river for some time, capturing two enormous crocodiles. They were so large that cranes and tow trucks were needed to remove them from the water.
Crocodile attacked a 6-year-old girl
The captured reptiles were examined, and one of them was initially identified as the possible culprit in the tragic death of the 6-year-old girl. Inside the enormous crocodile, human teeth and bones were found that could belong to the missing Cecelia.
This is not the first instance where crocodiles have been responsible for human fatalities. A month ago, a similar incident occurred in Indonesia, where a 54-year-old woman fell victim to a reptile. As a man who witnessed the attack reported, only her legs could be seen being pulled underwater.
