What?!?! Missing Child Found in Shot Croc
unreal
Missing child found in shot croc
Story Highlights
• Crocodile shot during search for missing 9-year-old contained child's remains
• Witnesses say child had earlier tormented reptiles in park
• Police hold park keeper, who was absent at time of the attack
BEIJING, China (AP) -- A crocodile shot to death in south China during a search for a missing 9-year-old student was found to contain the child's remains, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The crocodile was shot Saturday in a park in Beihai, a city in the Guangxi region, by investigators looking for the missing child. Investigators confirmed that human remains found in the reptile were that of the student, the report said.
The child, surnamed Liu, disappeared Friday after Liu and three other children climbed over the fence around a pool in the park that had been used to stage crocodile shows, Xinhua said.
"The children shot the animals with catapults and beat them with wooden sticks," the agency said. "One of the irritated crocodiles bit Liu's clothes and dragged him into water, where he was eaten by a swarm of crocodiles."
Snipers used pork to lure the reptiles from the pool on Saturday and shot the first one that crawled ashore, the report said.
No other details were given, and it wasn't immediately clear what would happen to the other crocodiles.
Local residents said the park's owner had hired a keeper for the crocodiles, but it was not clear why the man was not at the site when the students broke in, the report said.
The manager and the keeper were being held by police.

Agreed.
The children should not have been there to begin with.....
But where was everyone...
Very sad.

Re: What?!?! Missing Child Found in Shot Croc
The children NEVER should have gotten into the tank holding the crocodiles. Was this a school trip? They are questioning the park keeper but what about the teachers?!?!?!?
