Two swimmers have been killed in a series of violent attacks by a great white shark.
The body of a man washed up on a beach on La Lucia beach in Durban, South Africa, while a second was spotted but has since been taken by the current.
A walker discovered the decomposing body at 4.30pm on Friday, with emergency crews since clarifying it appears he had been devoured.
Netcare 911, the country's emergency medical services, reported that a portion of the right arm and right chest were missing and that multiple shark bites were clearly visible.
Spokesperson Shawn Herbst said: "Reports indicate that while walking on the beach, a man came across the decomposing body of an adult male face down between washed-up flotsam.
"When medics turned the body over for assessments they found that a portion of the right upper arm and right chest were missing with multiple shark bites clearly visible.
"A second body was also found in the shore break, but it had been washed back out to sea by the strong surf before lifeguards arrived on scene.
"Officials will determine the exact cause of death with the body handed over to Durban SAPS for further investigation."
It comes after desperate locals on a tiny Colombian island took to the sea to hunt an aggressive eight-foot tiger shark before "it kills them".
Italian Antonio Straccialini, 56, was horrifically mauled to death last month as he was swimming off the coast of the island of San Andres in the Caribbean Sea.
The tragic man suffered severe blood loss from the mauling and went into a state of hypovolemic shock before dying.
Chillingly, the shark responsible for the act is still at large leaving many locals terrified to go into the sea.
