Reptile farmer killed as 40 of his own crocodiles 'pounce' when he falls into enclosure

A 72-year-old reptile farmer has been killed by 40 of his own crocodiles when he fell into their enclosure, police have said.

Luan Nam was reportedly trying to move a crocodile out of a cage where the reptile had laid eggs when the animal "attacked the stick" he was using as a goad, causing him to fall into the enclosure in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Local police chief Mey Savry said 40 crocodiles ripped the man's body to shreds, with a pool of blood left in the enclosure.
