MIRI: An Indonesian worker is believed to have been killed by a crocodile and his body split in two by the reptile in a stream near a plywood factory in the Kuala Baram industrial estate north of the city of Miri.
Fire and Rescue Department personnel recovered his remains at 9.15am on Saturday (October 31).
There was only the head and shoulders, as the rest of the body was missing.
The department, in its latest updates to the Lopeng pump station, said the worker had been identified as Muhammad Nasution, 24.
He said he received a report from the management of the plywood factory about the missing worker on Friday afternoon (October 30).
The factory is located next to Sungai Bilat.
“The initial investigation showed that the man tried to cross a stream from the factory to the other side to go shopping at a supermarket.
“He was walking through a water pipe.
“A friend of his saw him being kidnapped by a crocodile while he was in the pipeline,” the department said.
