Slain beast: Firemen, police and wildlife department authorities posing with the dead crocodile.
KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife officers shot dead a 4.6m-long crocodile which had the body of a plantation worker still in its jaws, in the east coast Lahad Datu district yesterday.
The victim, identified as Rusdi Tambah, was said to have been fishing from a riverbank in the morning when the crocodile lunged at him and pulled him into the water.
