Gruesome discovery: Locals believe the crocodile's head was ripped off by a great white shark, although some say poachers are responsible
Who done it? Other locals think a hippo could have been the culprit, although the couple insist only a Great White shark could have severed the head so cleanly
'It?s quite normal for sharks to swim here in the sea at St Lucia and it?s also very normal for very large sharks to be very close to the shore.'
The couple, who live nearby and walk their dogs on the beach every morning at sunrise, say the cleanly severed head points to a great white.
And they say poachers are not the suspects as the head and jaw are thought of as the most valuable part of the three metre-long animal.
