Body parts found in shark’s belly

Two legs, two arms and a severed torso have been found inside a 12ft tiger shark in the Bahamas.

The human remains are being identified by Bahamian police.According to assistant police commissioner Glenn Miller, they appear to be a couple of days old.

It was not clear whether the person was dead or alive when eaten by the shark.Two fishermen caught the animal off the Exuma Islands and were stunned to discover the contents of its belly.

Mr Miller said at least two people were recently reported missing on the archipelago.He did not rule out the possibility that the remains are those of a migrant whose boat might have capsised during a risky sea journey to Florida.

Tiger sharks can migrate long distances and are second to great white sharks when it comes to attacking people.
