An identified man, Dauda Daudi, from Kambanembe Village Traditional Authority Lulanga, Malawi is reportedly missing and believed to have been killed by a Crocodile while trying to save his wife from the same crocodile that attacked her when the couple were on their way home from the garden.
According to Mangochi Police Station Publicist, Sub Inspector Amina Tepani Daudi , the couple was coming from their rice garden which is near Lake Malawi on Monday.
Daudi added that they were crossing Mkwanda, a stream which demarcate their village and rice garden, when the Crocodile came out from the stream and attacked the wife first.
“The fearless husband struggled with the Crocodile and managed to rescue his wife. Later on it turned against the husband and dragged him into the stream,” said Daudi.
She then said that the wife shouted for help and villagers mobilized themselves only to find a single bone fresh and blood in the stream.
The wife was rushed to Salima District Hospital after sustaining open wound on the thigh, upper left eye and fractures on both legs and arms.
