2010 Sarawak Croc Attack


Body parts of croc victim found floating in river
Some parts of crocodile victim Sidi Samad were found floating near his house located beside the bank of Batang Samarahan yesterday.
Two days after the victim was reported missing by his family, the search and rescue (SAR) team is still trying to locate the rest of his body.

As of press time yesterday, only the left arm and chest-to-waist portion of the 66-year-old had surfaced in the river.

The family insisted on burying the parts found despite no confirmation of Sidi’s death.

The community leader has to certify his death in order to proceed for documents required by the relevant department.

Sidi was last seen leaving his house to fish in a small sampan at Kampung Reban around 7am on Friday.

Kampung Reban – home to some 160 villagers mainly involved in farming – is located along the croc-infested bank of Batang Samarahan.
