“He was looking for his uncle when he saw his uncle’s head emerging out of the water’s surface before sinking again into the river,” the police officer said.

Muh Tahir’s body was found on Wednesday. His body was full of bite marks so the police concluded that he was killed by saltwater crocodile. Muh Tahir was a migrant worker who worked in a palm oil plantation.

Saltwater crocodiles are often found along the rivers and beaches in two of Malaysian states, Sabah and Sarawak. The reptile can grow to 7 meters long and they are often the cause of a string of attacks in those areas.
