A giant crocodile that preys on a resident in Sungai Luar Village, Batang Tuaka Subdistrict, Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia, was finally arrested on Monday 4 May 2020 at around 19:00 West Indonesian Time.

This five meter long crocodile is caught by a crocodile handler in Batang Tuaka River.

After being caught, this estuarine crocodile was tied using a rope and then evacuated by residents of the residential area.

Residents were so enthusiastic watching this giant crocodile was captured.

Crocodile expert, Junaidi said, the search for the crocodile had been carried out for six days.

The search was carried out after the crocodile killed a resident who works as a fisherman named Jasmi last weekend.

"We have been searching for six days and tonight we managed to capture him," Junaidi said.

Junaidi said the arrest of the crocodile was assisted by two of his siblings through a special ritual.

Where, when catching this crocodile, Junaidi used Duck bait.

"I was told by other fishermen that the fishing rod containing duck bait was eaten by crocodiles. After that we immediately evacuated this crocodile and then given it to the official in charge of this wild animal, "said Junaidi.
