Etina Tongoona, a woman from southern Masvingo province of Zimbabwe has been killed.
The woman was killed by a crocodile which dragged her while she was washing.
According to Chronicles Newspaper, Mildred Dube, the wooman's neighbour revealed that Etina was snatched by a crocodile on Sunday afternoon as the pair did their washing in a dam.
Making the attack even more tragic, the victim reportedly saw the crocodile before it attacked her at Bangala dam - but thought it had gone away, according to the report.
The woman's badly mauled body was recovered the next day.
Her neighbour Mildred Dube may have avoided attack because she was out of the water washing her clothes in a bucket.
The sad incident has sparked fear and apprehension in the area.
