5 Crocodiles Terminated in Sabah after Several People Reported Missing

Several people went missing recently in Sabah near rivers leading to the wildlife rangers to terminate five crocodiles though they were not believed to be involved in the attacks. Department director Augustine Tuuga says the rangers were focused on hunting for larger crocodiles in the Kota Belud, Lahad Datu and Tawau districts, where people have been attacked.
