- A group of young men harvesting sand a distance from where she was attacked watched helplessly as the deadly huge crocodile swam downstream with the young mother.
- Residents are now calling Tana River County government to consider procuring rescue boats that would be stationed permanently in the area to help in rescue missions during such incidents.
A woman was killed on Thursday by a crocodile on River Tana as some resudents watched helplessly as the reptile dragged her away deep into the waters.
The reptile attacked the 21-year old mother, Mwanaharusi Halako, as she went to fetch water from the crocodile infested river alone.
