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.
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.
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.
