Australian police have discovered what they believe to be the remains of a 12-year-old child who was reportedly attacked by a crocodile while swimming in a creek in the Northern Territory. The tragic incident occurred in Palumpa, also known as Nganmarriyanga, a remote town with a population of around 350 people, located seven hours by road from Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory.
The child was reported missing on Tuesday evening, prompting a search and rescue operation with community assistance. Police conducted an extensive search of the creek by boat in an effort to locate the missing child. The search team was even authorized to remove the crocodile from the area, as stated by Northern Territory police minister Brent Potter.
