“When the body was found, it was incomplete as there were traces of crocodile bites on the face; and both legs and hands were missing,” the spokesman said.
Upon receiving information, the team quickly rushed to the scene to retrieve the body and brought it back to the SAR control post.
It was later handed over to the police to be taken to the hospital.
