Boys body found in crocodile

 

 

 

The remains of a five-year-old Australian boy have been found in the stomach of a crocodile, police say.

 

Jeremy Doble was last seen on 8 February playing near his family's home beside a flooded mangrove swamp in northern Queensland.

 

Police now say he was attacked and eaten by a 14ft (4.3m) crocodile who was then trapped in a flooded river.

 

The announcement came after police examined the crocodile, using non-lethal surgical procedure.

"The family have requested that media respect their privacy at this time," police said in a statement.

Queensland officials say the animal will now be sent to a crocodile farm or zoo.

 

The victim's parents have reportedly asked authorities not to kill the crocodile.

 

 

Might have been doing what comes naturally but I think I would have wanted it killed.
