A MONSTROUS one-tonne crocodile that ate a six-year-old girl was discovered with her human teeth and bones inside its belly.
Cecelia Julan Intik was swimming at Sungai Tatau, Malaysia when she was swallowed by a huge crocodile as her family watched on in horror.

The little girl was playing in the river on Wednesday when her horrified sister and granddad saw her being dragged underwater by the croc.
Searchers later caught two huge beasts – one measuring 17 feet and the other 18 feet and sent them for examination.
Wildlife experts then gutted the captured reptiles on September 27 – two days after the attack – and found are believed to be Cecelia’s remains, according to local media.
In one of the massive river beasts, officials discovered teeth, bones and more – all believed to be the six-year-old’s.
Tatau district police chief deputy Superintendent Jame Reis confirmed: “On Friday, two crocodiles were trapped.
“The first crocodile that was caught at Hulu Sungai Sap at about 9.30am weighed 1.2 tonnes.
“The second animal that was caught at 1.20pm weighed 1.3 tonnes, both captured on the same day.”
He added: “A dissection performed on the first reptile led to the discovery of teeth, bones and coins inside the crocodile’s stomach.”
Some of her family were tasked with watching the gruesome examination to help police identify her remains.
Both reptiles were so humongous that officials had to use a tug boat and a crane to get the beasts ashore.
Stomach-turning footage that The Sun has chosen not to share shows one of the beasts being lifted onto the back of a pickup truck with some of the contents of its stomach spilling onto the road.
The human remains have since been sent to the forensic labs at Malaysia’s Department of Chemistry for analysis, reports local media.
The captured beast was brought back to Jetty Pasar Lama Tatau and handed over to forestry experts for further studies.
Findings from the second dissection have not yet been released to the public.
In nearby Indonesia, a grandad was savagely mauled to death while going for a swim by a crocodile just metres from his home.
M Yunus, 68, was in the Peureulak River on August 29 when the beast ripped him in half, leaving just his clothes and phone behind.
His death is just one in a tragic string of crocodile attacks that have devastated the country.
The Indonesian archipelago is home to 14 types of crocodiles and many large and violent breeds flourish in the region’s tropical climate.
