SARATOK: A male crocodile which was believed to have devoured Siah Monsung – wife of Tuai Rumah Embol Asom from Sungai Anak, Pelunga Roban – two weeks ago was caught yesterday.
The 12-foot reptile was trapped by crocodile catcher Indet Sanabong and his assistant with the aid of two villagers around 8am.
Hundreds of people thronged Roban town when news that the crocodile which they believed to be the infamous ‘Bujang Seblak’ was brought to the town broke out.

When met Indet claimed that apart from the killer croc he had also caught another two which he believed to be Bujang Seblak’s ‘buddies’ the last few weeks.
He called them ‘Bujang Muara’ (which was 9.2 feet long) and ‘Dara Nanga’ (female, 8.9 feet long).
He said he did not doubt that the crocodile was Bujang Seblak as it bore the marks of a shotgun wound underneath its chin.
Around 4pm, the crocodile was sent to Rumah Panjang Embol at Sungai Anak by the Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) for post mortem and data gathering.
