# Police in Mpumalanga are conducting DNA tests to determine whether human remains found inside a crocodile in Komatipoort belong to a missing businessman. The reptile was tracked and euthanised following a days-long search for a missing 59-year-old businessman swept away over a week ago in the Komati River. Police say the crocodile was identified and euthanised before remains were recovered. Investigators say forensic analysis will confirm the victim’s identity as probes continue into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
