Crocodile named Michael Jackson shot dead

A crocodile named Michael Jackson has been shot dead after killing a man.

The 57-year-old man was attacked by the salt water crocodile - named after the late king of pop - after entering a river in Australia's Northern Territory in an attempt to free his fishing line, the Daily Mirror newspaper reports.

The man's wife ran for help after seeing her husband being attacked by the crocodile - which was named after Michael Jackson because it was half albino - and the police and wildlife officers tracked it down later that day.
