Police officers and park rangers have been using helicopters and boats to search an area around Mudginberri in the Northern Territory’s Kakadu National Park since Sunday afternoon, when suddenly a saltwater crocodile attacked five children swimming in a water hole.
One of the boys, aged 15, was bitten by the crocodile but somehow managed to escape. The crocodile then turned on his friend, aged 12, Constable said.

The 15-year-old boy was brutally grabbed on his right arm. He started fighting and struggling off the crocodile, and it took him by the left arm; then it let him go and took hold on the 12-year-old boy, and swam off in deep river with him.
There has been no sign of the boy since the attack occurred. As the time goes on, the chances of finding him alive are very rare. Police and a team of expert swimmer are still searching for dead body.
