◎周虹汶
A four-meter-long crocodile has killed a South African golfer who went for a late night swim at a dam called Lake Panic in Kruger National Park.
一隻4公尺長的鱷魚殺死了一名在克魯格國家公園恐慌湖水壩夜泳的南非高爾夫球客。
Deep sea diver Jacques van der Sandt, 29, was dragged under water by the crocodile and was later found in the jaws of the reptile, which was killed in order to recover the body.
29歲的深海潛水員賈克．范德桑特被鱷魚拖入水底，為了取回屍體殺了這隻鱷魚後，在牠下顎處尋獲范德桑特。
"It had him in his mouth and was swimming in the water with him," Danie Pienaar, acting head of Kruger National Park, told 702 Talk Radio. "It was in the public area ... we also don’t know if there is anything wrong with the crocodile," he added, explaining the reasons for shooting the animal.
克魯格國家公園代理園長達聶．皮納爾告訴「702談話電台」：「牠用嘴巴咬住他，並和他一起在水裡游泳。」他補充解釋射殺該隻動物的原因，「牠本來在公共區域……我們也不知道那隻鱷魚出了什麼問題」。
