Horrifying moment villagers cut open two enormous crocodiles and find human remains ‘after six-year-old girl was dragged away and eaten’ while she was swimming in Malaysian river

This is the horrifying moment that villagers cut open two enormous crocodiles and find human remains after a six-year-old girl was ‘killed and eaten’ by one of the animals. 

The huge reptiles were caught and gutted by experts from the Sarawak Forestry Corporation in Malaysia after Cecelia Julan Intik disappeared while swimming in the Sungai Tatau River on September 25.

The massive crocs measured 17 feet and 18 feet respectively, and were so heavy that searchers had to use a tug boat and a crane to get them ashore.

Cecelia’s family told police she had been dragged down by the powerful predator while she played in the water at Sungai Tatau. 

The youngster’s horrified sister and grandfather saw her being pulled under but could do nothing to stop the croc attack.

Malaysian media reported that six-year-old Cecelia Julan Intik was ‘killed and ate’ by an 18ft-long crocodile while swimming in the Sungai Tatau River on September 25

Now grim remains, believed to Cecelia’s, have been discovered in one of the crocodiles after wildlife experts gutted the captured reptiles on September 27, according to local media reports.

Officers found human teeth, bones and a handful of coins in one of the enormous river beasts.

Some of Cecela’s family members watched the gruesome examination to help police identify the remains.

Tatau district police chief deputy Superintendent Jame Reis confirmed: ‘On Friday, two crocodiles were trapped.

‘The first at Hulu Sungai Sap at about 9.30am weighing 1.2 tonnes and the second animal was caught at 1.20pm weighing 1.3 tonnes, both on the same day.’

He added: ‘A dissection performed on the first reptile led to the discovery of teeth, bones and coins inside the crocodile’s stomach.’

Local media added that the human remains from one of the animals have been sent to the forensic labs at Malaysia’s Department of Chemistry for analysis.

The captured beasts were brought back to Jetty Pasar Lama Tatau and given to forestry experts for further studies.

Findings from the second dissection have yet to be released to the public.

Fragments including what are believed to be the remains of Cecelia’s body were found after the crocodile was gutted by wildlife experts

It comes after a 12ft crocodile mauled a grandmother to death in Indonesia, with video showing the moment authorities recovered her body from the belly of the beast.

Halima Rahakbauw, 54, was washing pots in a river in Wali village on the Maluku islands after spending Tuesday morning looking for clams when the reptile struck.

After spotting a sandal and part of a leg in the river, villagers reported the incident to police, who found the crocodile eating the woman’s body and shot it dead.

The predator was hauled out of the water and locals recovered parts of Rahakbauw’s body from its stomach before cutting the animal up into pieces and disposing of it.
