An 8-year-old boy who disappeared while swimming in an Indonesian river on Borneo Island was found in a crocodile boat.

According to Compass on the 5th, an 8-year-old boy who was swimming in a river in the village of Muara Bangalore in East Kalimantan, Borneo on the 3rd, was missing. The boy’s father and brother, who were fishing at the time, saw the crocodile dragging the child into the water, but they were helpless. Upon receiving the report of the disappearance, the search authorities mobilized a crocodile trainer to search the river.

On the 4th, the day after the disappearance, they found a crocodile 100m from the point where the child disappeared and anesthetized it. Afterwards, he pulled the crocodile into the river, split the boat, and took out the child’s body. The search team leader explained, “The body found in the stomach of the crocodile was intact,” and “it is presumed that the crocodile swallowed it whole.” The boy’s body was handed over to his family for a funeral, and the crocodile was buried in the ground.

In late July of last year, a 14-year-old boy was found on a crocodile boat in Sarawak.

On January 14 this year, an 8-year-old boy was taken away by a crocodile while bathing in a river in a neighboring village and disappeared. No body has been found yet. In late July of last year, a 14-year-old boy disappeared while catching a snail by a river in a village in Sarawak, Malaysian, Borneo Island. Five days after the boy disappeared, the search team caught a giant crocodile with a length of 4.7 m and a body width of 1.7 m and cut the stomach to confirm the missing boy’s clothes and part of the body.

On the island of Borneo, such incidents often occur in which crocodiles drag children as well as adults into the water. In March of last year, a 78-year-old man was taken by a crocodile in the same village, and was found in a 4.5m long crocodile boat captured the next day.
