On Saturday, January 11, the community of Bangka, Indonesia, was shaken by a tragedy involving a 5-year-old girl.

The little girl, named Caca, was attacked and killed by a saltwater crocodile while she was near a lake, preparing to take a bath.

The incident happened around 9 am, when she was with her parents,

who, of course, were desperate when they saw their daughter being pulled into the water.

What exactly happened? According to witnesses who were nearby, the girl was taken by surprise by the reptile’s attack,

which suddenly pulled her into the depths of the lake.

The parents tried everything they could to rescue their daughter, but unfortunately,

they were unable to prevent the worst from happening.

Rescue teams, including police officers,

local residents and members of a search and rescue organization from

Bangka Belitung, quickly mobilized to try to locate the girl.
