Man-eating crocodile suspected of killing SIX people is finally caught after terrorising village in Uganda


A man-eating crocodile suspected of killing at least six people has been captured off the shores of Lake Victoria in Uganda.
The crocodile is 18ft long and weighing approximately a tonne, was caught after worried locals demanded wildlife officials hunt it down.
Its latest victim is believed to be father-of-two Bosco Nyansi, a local fisherman whose clothing was discovered floating on the water.

The animal, believed to be over 80-years-old, is thought to have seriously injured several other fishermen after developing a taste for human flesh.
Game wardens trapped it using a large chunk of meat on a hook following a four-day search. They trapped it in a corner before binding it up with rope.
