Remains found in 15-foot river croc after hunt for SA hotelier

Rescuers in flood‑ravaged South Africa recovered the remains of Gabriel Batista, 59, from inside a swollen 15‑foot crocodile caught in the Komati River; the giant animal—over 1,000 pounds—was killed and dissected to reveal body parts and a ring, while six pairs of shoes were found in its stomach as DNA testing continues and investigators pursue missing‑person links.
