Indonesianvillagers armed with knives, hammers and clubs have slaughtered nearly 300 crocodiles in revenge for the death of a man killed by a reptile at a breeding farm.

Photographs showed bloodied carcasses of the crocodiles in a large pile in the Sorong district of the eastern Indonesian province of West Papua.

Local resident Sugito, who worked at a tofu factory in Sorong, West Papua, was said to be looking for grass to feed his cattle on Saturday when he was bitten by a crocodile.

His screams alerted a local resident who ‘heard him shouting for help but he was found dead,’ another local named Olga reported.


After local villagers attended his funeral on Saturday, around 600 armed themselves with sharp implements and descended upon a crocodile farm, owned by Albert Siahaan, to avenge his death.

The bloody attack resulted in 292 baby and larger crocodiles, up to two metres in length, hauled from their water-filled enclosures and hacked to death with hoes, picks and other sharp tools.

Up to 40 police officers tried to stop the slaughter, but were outnumbered by the angry mob.

Two men stand among the corpses of about 300 crocodiles, which were slaughtered after a crocodile bit a local resident, killing him.



'The residents used knives to slaughter the crocodiles,' Olga said, adding, 'The crocodiles were caught and dragged outside and stabbed to death. It was so horrid to see.'


‘We couldn’t do anything. The situation was so tense,’ said Sorong police chief, Dewa Made Sutrahna, according to ABC News.

It was unclear whether the crocodile that killed Sugito was among those slaughtered.
