Family of Brit shark victim in Australia say he 'wouldn't want it destroyed'

The grief-stricken family of a Brit swimmer killed by a 13 feet great white shark in Australia has said that he would not want the animal killed.

A hunt is on by Australian authorities for the shark that struck on Wednesday killing Simon Nellist, 35, and it has led to Sydney beaches being closed as a precaution.

It was the first shark fatality for nearly 60 years in the area and onlookers watched from the beach in horror as the predator pounced from under the water.
