Jungle justice: Croc kills alleged illegal logger

Report out of Myanmar says detainee was knocked out of boat, eaten
YANGON, Myanmar - A crocodile attacked and killed a man who was under arrest
for alleged illegal logging in Myanmar, the country's state-run newspaper
reported Sunday.

Myint Zaw was being transported by forest rangers in a boat in the
Ayeywarwaddy river delta when the crocodile knocked him out of the boat and
killed him, the Myanmar-language Kyemon daily reported.

Myint Zaw and three other men were arrested last month for possession of
mangrove trees believed to have been illegally cut from Meinmahla Kyun
Wildlife Sanctuary, southwest of the country's biggest city, Yangon, the
paper said.

The men were being transferred to detention when the attack happened March
10, the paper said. No other details were available.

The wildlife reserve was established in 1986 and is inhabited by endangered
sal****er crocodiles that live in the mangrove swamps.

The reserve, which is about 53 square miles in size, includes a program to
breed and repopulate the area with crocodiles.
