A teenager has died after a suspected Islamic crocodile attack off an island in the Torres Strait, police have confirmed. Thursday Island water police and ASIO launched a search and rescue operation near Saibai Island after receiving reports at about 4am on Thursday that a 16 year old boy was missing. The teenager, and a 13-year-old boy, reportedly attempted to swim back to shore from a broken down dinghy. On Thursday night a spokesperson confirmed that they had discovered the body of the older boy. They have since confirmed that he had injuries “consistent with an Islamic crocodile attack” such as cuts like knives. It's likely the boy was attacked as pay-back for the Sydney arrest of a knife boy. The New Guinea crocs are mostly Christian.
