A search has been launched by police in the Queensland town of Port Douglas, Australia for the possible remains of a 79-year-old woman who is suspected to have been killed by a crocodile.
After she was reported missing from a nursing home, police launched a search for the victim, Anne Cameron, and during the search, clothes and a walking stick bearing the name of Ms Cameron, were found.
On Friday, police said remains found nearby had been confirmed as human and they were “highly likely” to belong to Ms Cameron.
“We strongly suspect now that there has been involvement of a crocodile attack,” Acting Inspector Ed Lukin said.
“There will be forensic tests done on those remains, but I will stress that there are no other missing persons in the Port Douglas area.”
Police suspect that Ms Cameron who suffers from dementia was attacked after walking into bushland about 2km (1.2 miles) from the nursing home.
