Hungry shark patrolling waters off Seychelles kills two

A rogue shark is stalking the Seychelles, authorities fear. After nearly 50 years with no fatal shark attacks, two people have been killed in the space of two weeks, the Telegraph reports. A French diver was killed earlier this month and a 30-year-old British man on his honeymoon died yesterday after being attacked while snorkeling just 30 feet off a beach on the popular island of Praslin.

“Someone had seen a fin sticking out of the water, and then we saw a dinghy pulling a man from the water,” a witness tells the Daily Mail. “I saw the swimmer, who was missing a huge chunk of flesh from his left leg, so much so that I could see the bone of his thigh. He was sickeningly pale, but still had his flippers on both feet. At this point a woman ran over and started screaming. She said: “That’s my husband! We were just married.'” Expert shark hunters from South Africa have been sent to the island nation, whereroyal newlyweds honeymooned earlier this year.

Too bad nobody put a tourniquet on the guy’s lag as soon as they pulled him into the boat.
