Woman killed by crocodile in hour-long attack, body recovered later by authorities.

It was a peaceful morning on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia until a horrific incident occurred. Nurhawati Zihura, a 46-year-old woman, decided to wash her feet in some seawater, not knowing the danger that lurked beneath the surface. As she dipped her feet in, a crocodile suddenly appeared and dragged her under.

Agustinus, a resident who witnessed the terrifying scene, described it as a sight worse than anything he had ever seen. He and others shouted for help, but the crocodile refused to release its grip on Nurhawati. Sadly, her life was taken in a matter of seconds as her blood spilled into the water.

An hour later, the crocodile resurfaced with Nurhawati's lifeless body in its jaws. Locals tried to distract the croc with chicken and boats, but it held onto its prey tightly. Eventually, it let go and Nurhawati's body was brought back to shore.

The entire incident was captured on film, but due to its graphic nature, it was not published by Metro. The local authorities immediately began searching for the killer crocodile and were able to locate and kill it a few hours later.

This tragic event has sparked concern among Indonesian officials about the increasing number of crocodile attacks in the area. Kornelius Wau, the head of the Pulau-Pulau Batu Sub-district, has called for the government to take action to protect residents from these dangerous animals. He expressed his worries about the majority of residents living near the coast and relying on the sea for their livelihoods.

Indonesia has been recorded as having the highest rate of crocodile attacks in the world. In the past decade alone, there have been over 1,000 reported incidents and 450 fatalities. The local government and conservation agencies must take real action to address this serious threat and ensure the safety of their residents.

It is a frightening reality for those living in areas where crocodiles roam freely. Until a solution is found, residents will continue to live in fear and danger. Let us hope that this tragedy serves as a wake-up call for the necessary measures to be taken to prevent future attacks.
