Crocodile kills 19-year-old football player during training (photos)


A young Mozambican footballer was snatched and killed by a crocodile while training along the banks of Zambezi river, his Clube Atletico Mineiro de Tete said on Monday, March 20.

Estevao Alberto Gino, 19 year old who played for the Mozambique’s second division club lived near the river in the western side of Tete.

The incident happened last Thursday, March 16. On that night, he was reported to be training and after jogging he stretched his hands into the water and that was when the crocodile caught him by coach Eduardo Carvalho to the AFP.

Two neighbours witnessed the attack, but due to the long and huge size of the crocodile, which they estimated to  have been about five-metres (16-feet) long, and too strong for them so they could not do anything to save him, said Carvalho.



Crocodile attacks are common along the Zambezi river.

Local police spokesman Leonel Muchina confirmed the incident to AFP and said the footballer’s body is nowhere to be  found yet .
