A furious fisherman tracked down and killed the 20ft crocodile that
ate his pregnant wife.
Demeteriya Nabwire went to search for firewood on the shores of
Nawaikoke in Uganda but villagers became worried when she didn’t
return after several hours.
A search party was set up and they were horrified to find the pregnant
woman’s slippers, bloody toes, fingers and a mobile phone at the spot
where she went missing.
It soon became apparent she had been eaten by a giant beast surfacing
from the river – the same 1,000kg creature had been blamed for the
deaths of six women and children who had disappeared in the past year.
So devastated husband Mubarak Batambuze of Kibuye village, went to the
local blacksmith and spent his savings on the sharpest spear possible.
He told Uganda daily newspaper New Vision: “I went to a blacksmith and
paid him sh20,000 (£4.65) so that he could make me a very sharp
spear.”
Batambuze took his trusty new weapon down to the riverbank and managed
to find the 20ft beast near to where her remains were found last
Sunday.
The 56-year-old took his bloody revenge and hauled his catch up to the
shore with the help of five other fishermen.
He is now being hailed a hero by villagers for slaughtering the killer
croc, which has terrorised families for over a year.
A village spokesperson was also said to demand compensation from the
Ugandan Wildlife Authority for Batambuze’s lost wife.
But officials said it’s not part of their policy to pay out for people
killed by crocodiles and added they are currently capturing reptiles
and relocating them to another area.
