KINABATANGAN, July 31 (Bernama) -- A woman was found dead today, believed to have been attacked by a crocodile while fishing on a riverbank in Kampung Tanjung Bulat Sinar Jaya, Kota Kinabatangan, near here.
The Sabah Fire and Rescue Department, in a statement, said the body of the woman, identified as Norsila Sayong, 32, was found by a search team at 6.53 am today, at a spot about 800 metres from where she was last seen alive.
