KUCHING, Jan 2: No human remains were found in the stomach of a crocodile caught at 10.30pm on Jan 1 at Lorong 2C Samariang Aman.

In a Facebook post today, Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) said an autopsy revealed plastic bags, rubbish, and animal remains, including the chicken used as bait to catch the 11-foot male crocodile weighing 250kg.

In light of that, the SFC urges those living near the rivers not to throw their rubbish into the rivers as it could attract crocodiles.
