Grace Jamar, 33's, body was found today after a search operation which began yesterday by police and fire and rescue services did not find her.
Moments before the man-eater struck, the woman was washing her feet at the riverbank in Suai, Borneo, at about 7.45pm, with a large group of other women.
The saltwater croc, which is found in the sea and inland rivers is the biggest species on earth.
The single self-employed woman was dragged in by her legs.
Villagers who witnessed the reptile attack alerted emergency services.
The Suai and its tributaries near Miri, on the Malaysian part of the island which also has Indonesian and Brunei-owned areas, are known to be crocodile infested, and have seen numerous cases reported in recent years, according to the Rakyat Post.
Two months earlier another fatal attack was reported in Sungai Rimbas near Betong.
Then, 31-year-old Bob Denok was reportedly flung into into the air like a ragdoll before he was dragged into the depths of the river by a crocodile.
