Crocodile crushes 14-year-old boy

Residents in the city of Kuching, Malaysia were shocked to the core when they found the remains of a 14-year-old boy inside the stomach of a large crocodile.

According to locals, the teenager, identified as Ricky Ganya, was collecting snails with his aunt at a riverbank when the crocodile jumped out of the water and snatched him by his ankle.

The aunt immediately alerted fishermen in the area but it was to late. They could only watch helplessly as the crocodile chew the boy.

The 14ft crocodile was eventually lured out of the river after locals used chicken as bait. They dragged it onshore to recover the teenage boy's body. It took them three days to do this.

When the stomach of the crocodile was cut open, fragraments of Ricky's bone and his clothes were found inside.

His remains were taken home by his family for him to be laid to rest in his village.
