Residents have been sent into a state of fear after crocodiles were spotted feasting on human flesh in a river.
Police used their 4.2m vessel to recover partial remains of the victim at Nseleni River
At first, when fishermen saw crocodiles biting something in the river, they never thought it was a human being.
However, when they went closer to the huge reptiles in Nseleni
River near Empangeni, KZN, South Africa, they made a gruesome discovery
that sent shivers down their spines.
According to Daily SA, they found out that the hungry crocodiles were actually feeding on human flesh!
It is unknown if the victim was a man or woman.
The shocked fishermen alerted the authorities, who found only part of the victim’s remains.
The crocodiles had eaten the right arm and parts of the body and
head. The horrific incident took place in broad daylight on Tuesday. It
is still unclear where the crocodiles got the body from.
Police spokesman Captain Nqobile Gwala told Daily Sun that members
of the police’s search and rescue dive unit from Empangeni attended the
scene.
“On arrival the members found that the victim was floating and
crocodiles were feasting on the body. They used their boat to recover
the left arm, part of the back and both legs,” said Gwala.
“An inquest docket was opened at Empangeni Police Station for investigation.”
