A crocodile in Raja Bejamu River, Rokan Hilir regency, Riau, has been terrorizing villagers in recent months. On Saturday, residents managed to capture a 2-meter estuarine crocodile with the body of Hamsar, a fisherman from Indragiri Hilir regency, still in its jaws. Hamsar was reported missing the previous evening, and a search party, led by the Reteh Police, found his body at around 11 a.m. in the waters of Sungai Undan village, Reteh district.
The crocodile attack is believed to have occurred that same evening. Villagers successfully beat the crocodile to release Hamsar's body, which was then taken to Sungai Undan auxiliary community health center for examination. Medical worker Nur Ihsan confirmed that Hamsar had died from severe wounds sustained during the attack.
