Friends watch helplessly as man snatched by crocodile in Lahad Datu


KOTA KINABALU: A group of men could only look on helplessly as their friend was mauled by a crocodile in Sabah’s east coast Lahad Datu district early Wednesday (Sept 20).

In the pre-dawn attack, four men were trapping crabs in waters off Kampung Tinagian, Tanjung Labian, when the reptile lunged at the victim, a 23-year-old oil palm plantation worker.
