Horrifying moment a woman's limbs are cut out of a crocodile's stomach shortly after it ate her while she was fishing in Indonesia

The beast pounced on Fatimah, 45, while she was fishing in a river in North Kalimantan, Indonesia, last Friday night.

Shocked friends heard Fatimah's screams and watched in terror as the reptile clamped its jaws around her body and dragged her below the surface of the water.

The 19-foot long giant crocodile was caught the next day after angry residents hunted the beast.

Fatimah's severed head and other body parts were later found nearby, having been discarded by the croc.

Amiruddin, head of the Tarakan National SAR Agency said: 'The police first shot the crocodile. Then, the stomach of the crocodile was cleaved, and pieces from the victim's body were found.'

Eyewitnesses said Fatimah was attacked by a large crocodile while she was releasing food into the water on Tibi Island in Bulungan Regency.
