A man has been killed by a giant saltwater crocodile as he was fishing with his wife in northern Australia.
The man, 57, was attacked by the 4.5-metre (15ft) reptile as he waded into the Adelaide River to unsnag his line, south of Darwin.
His wife heard a scream and turned around only to see "a tail splashing in the water", officials said.
The body was found a few hours later, and the crocodile was shot dead by the police.
The man - whose name has not been released - is the fourth person to be killed by a crocodile in Australia's Northern Territory this year.
