A 13-year-old girl has been killed in Zimbawe after taking a bath in a river and being devoured by a crocodile.<\/p>\n

Nomatter Raymond had been bathing on Hunyani River when the horrific incident occurred in front of her terrified friends.<\/p>\n

Nomatter had only been in the water a few minutes when the crocodile exploded out of the water and dragged the teenager away, the Herald reported. <\/p>\n

The horror was seen by her friends Lynette Mazowe, 14, and Angela Chiedza, 12, who had been fishing nearby and screamed for help.<\/p>\n

Villagers rushed to the area straight away and started a search however the crocodile had vanished with her body.<\/p>\n

Mashonaland Central Police Inspector Milton Mundembe said her body was found two days later around 70 metres further up the river.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As well as deep wounds from the crocodile\u2019s teeth on her waist and back, a medical examiner found she suffered a broken thumb and wrist as she struggled with the deadly reptile.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cNomatter Raymond, went with her young sister aged eight to wash dishes in Hunyani River.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter washing dishes, Nomatter instructed her sister to go back with the dishes to the shed in the field while she remained behind to take a bath.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when she was then attacked by a crocodile and dragged underwater.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease stay away from crocodile-infested water bodies, especially young people.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The tragic event comes weeks after villagers in a remote part of Tanzania begged their government to destroy a pack of crocodiles who have eaten six people in just three months.<\/p>\n

The terrified residents of Kimaramisale village have now been urged to stop collecting water from the river\u2019s edge to avoid falling into the jaws of the beasts.<\/p>\n

The man-eating crocs have been waiting while people collect water before launching from the river, dragging them under and then devouring them.<\/p>\n
