Crocodile kills woman in North Sumatra as locals witness attack

A 46-year-old woman, Nurhawati Zihura, was killed by a 13-foot crocodile while washing her feet in the sea near her village in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Locals witnessed the attack and later saw the crocodile surface with her body. Efforts to distract the crocodile with dead chickens failed, and CPR was attempted but could not save her. The crocodile was later captured and shot by residents concerned about safety. Local officials are urging the government to address the rising threat of crocodile attacks, as many residents live and work near the coast. Indonesia has the highest number of crocodile attacks globally, with over 1,000 incidents reported in the past decade.
