Missing Boy Remains Found

Five year old Jeremy Doble went missing whilst playing with his big brother Ryan, behind their home by a mangrove swamp in Australia.

Police have today confirmed that the remains of the young boy have been found inside the stomach of a 14ft crocodile.

Older brother Ryan (7) told police that he did see a crocodile after he realised his brother had gone missing, but did not see any signs of an attack or struggle.

At this stage police are unable to confirm what will happen to the crocodile, who was trapped in the flooded Daintree River in north Queensland.

Crocodiles have been a protected species in Australia since 1971, which has given rise to a steady increase in the crocodile population ever since.

Authorities do have the power to destroy any croc that poses a threat to human life, but what do you think should happen to the croc?

In all honesty I don't think the offending crocodile should be let back into the wild again, even though that is where it belongs, and it was only following it's natural instinct to eat. Destroying the animal isn't the way to go for me either, it had as much right to be there as that poor little boy did, and deaths like this are very rare.

I am even wondering if little Jeremy could have perhaps fallen into the water, drown, and was later picked up by the croc. Perhaps this could explain why Ryan never saw any kind of attack take place..But what do I know? Anything could be posssible.
