A father fought in vain to save his one-year-old boy after a crocodile snatched the baby from a canoe and ate him alive in Malaysia on Thursday morning.

The father and son were traveling on a river in Sabah, eastern Malaysia, during a fishing trip when the reptile struck. The dad was unable to rescue his child from the crocodile’s jaws and was himself left with bite wounds in the attempt.

Villagers rescued the dad, a Palauh tribesman reported to be in his 40s, after he managed to scramble to the banks. But the crocodile had already dragged his son into the depths.

It later emerged on the surface with the mutilated body of the baby in its jaws before sinking back into the water, dragging him down once again.

Father describes how he was forced to watch helplessly while 'meat grinder' tiger shark mauled his son to death as he screamed 'Papa, save me!': Predator is caught and brutally killed on beach

Vladimir Popov, 23, was mauled to death by a tiger shark at Egyptian resort

It comes after a 68-year-old was killed by shark at a nearby resort last year

A distraught Russian father has told of his horror at watching his son be mauled to death by a 'meat grinder' tiger shark at an Egyptian resort as he screamed out: 'Papa, save me!'

Yury Popov was forced to watch helplessly from the shore as the predator circled his son Vladimir, 23, before dragging him under water in the resort of Hurghada.

The tiger shark was then caught and dragged to land by boat before it was killed.

'We went to the beach to relax,' Mr Popov, originally from Russia, told the 112 media outlet. 'My son was attacked by a shark, it all happened in seconds.'

The heartbroken father said there were no family members near his son to help in the water, though initial reports said the 23-year-old's girlfriend had managed to flee the attack.

'What kind of help can you give? This meat grinder happened in 20 seconds, he was just dragged under the water,' Mr Popov said.

The father said: 'This is an absolutely ridiculous coincidence, because it is a safe beach. There are ships and yachts around. It's never happened there. They usually attack on wild beaches. It's just some kind of evil fate.'

Vladimir had been living with his father in Egypt for several months before the horrific attack. Mr Popov said he would cremate his son and return his ashes to their native Russia.

Video shows the tiger shark being caught and dragged ashore by a boat following the attack, and it appeared to be alive before being clubbed to death.

The Egyptian authorities confirmed the shark has been handed over for research to find out the causes of its behaviour and identify whether the animal is related to one that 'caused several previous accidents'.

The 23-year-old can be seen desperately trying to swim towards the shore to no avail. His body is seen spinning in the water, and his legs are raised above the surface.

'Swim away, swim away! Quick! A shark!' people can be heard shouting in the video.

Soon the splashing in the water stops, and the man's head returns to the surface. He appears to be moving around in the water again but slowly.

He can be heard screaming 'Papa', pleading for help, as the water turns red.

The shark's body is seen clearly at the surface at the moment, and its fin and tail are visible as it circles the victim.

The shark turns around again to attack and charges at the victim before clamping its jaws around him and pulling him under water.

The man's head appears above the water one last time, and the shark's body is seen writhing in the ocean as it appears to maul the body and drag it further into the depths of the water.

One witness said: 'The shark's eating his remains now. There she is, eating his remains.' Another said: 'Right in front of my eyes, the shark ate the guy, the girl [the girlfriend] managed to escape. He took the blow from the shark.

'It's a terrible thing, the remains of this man are lying there.'

A new video showed a distraught woman on the beach being comforted by two other woman moments after Vladimir was mauled to death.

It is believed the Russian woman had been pulled out of the water after being close to the man who was killed. It is not known if she was a relative of Popov.

So far Popov's father Yury is the only member of the family to speak.

After witnessing the attack, it evidently took a lengthy time to find the body and bring it onshore.

'Later, the remains were found, and the body was put in a bag and taken to the morgue,' he said.

'Children swam [in the area where the shark attacked] very often - there were children's slides,' another witness said.

'All this happened not far from a descent into the sea, next to the ladder, used by everyone who went into the water.

'At one point, the shark appeared, and immediately bit this man. Rescuers saw this and began to start the boat. He tried to swim away from the shark, but he couldn't.

'And the shark dragged the body for two hours. It constantly dragged him under the water.'

Witnesses said the victim's girlfriend had been in the water at the time of the attack. Russian reports say she is safe and has returned to Russia.

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the death of a citizen from a shark attack.

Vladimir had moved to the resort with his father at a time when many young males are moving abroad to avoid facing conscription - and likely death - as the brutal war in Ukraine continues.

The family had bought a property at the British Resort in Hurghada, say reports.

Other accounts said he had been staying at the four-star Elysees Dream Beach Hotel in Hurghada.

IT specialist Vladimir 'loved his father very much and was just beginning to live', said a friend.

He was said to be working remotely when he died, as are many young Russian men who are defying Putin.

Born in sub-Arctic city Archangel, or Arkhangelsk, he had moved to Moscow before decamping to Egypt amid the war with Ukraine.

His girlfriend, Anastasia, who is in her early twenties, has so far not spoken of the tragedy.

One female friend said: 'Vova [Vladimir] was a good guy.

'He was only a month away from his birthday.

'Friends say that he moved there [to Egypt] with his father.

'As far as I know, he really liked living in Moscow, his whole life was there.

'Vova was a wonderful person and loved his father very much.'

Oleg, who knew the deceased man, said: 'He was into music. He recorded songs.'

There was speculation that a woman seen on the beach being conformed by two other women was his mother.

But 360TV reported that she was at home in Balashikha, Moscow region.

A source said: 'His mother cried all day. She screamed that she had lost her son.'

The commotion was so great that a neighbour said 'we were even afraid that someone was being killed there'. Locals wanted to call the police.

The 23-year-old is not the first victim to be killed by a shark at the resort.

In July last year, 68-year-old Austrian Elisabeth Sauer was attacked in front of horrified onlookers at a resort in Sahl Hasheesh - 15 minutes after English speaking guests warned Egyptian lifeguards about sharks and their warnings had been laughed off.

The resort is a 30-minute drive from Hurghada, where Vladimir was killed.

A second woman - identified only as a Romanian national in her 40s - is thought to have been killed in a similar attack just 650ft away from where Ms Sauer died, with her badly disfigured remains found on a nearby reef the same day.

Ms Sauer lost an arm and a leg in an attack that was caught on film, as onlookers tried to distract the shark and get her to safety.

She reached the shore with the help of a flipper, but died a short time later.

Reports at the time - from news agency AFP and Austrian news outlets - pointed to the attack being committed by a Mako shark, while local Egyptian newspapers named the animal as an Oceanic whitetip shark.

the irony

A Russian man who was attacked by a shark in Egypt recorded a video a few hours earlier in which he said:

"Well, how are you doing there, free Ukrainians? Do you swim?"

On December 9, 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of her staircase.

To this day there are still a lot of questions surrounding her death.

Netflix dropped The Staircase this June, Jean-Xavier de Lestrade’s docuseries looking at the case, and Michael Peterson's trial.

While it covered the beginning of his case, and where he is now, it didn't discuss one of the weirdest murder twists.

Michael Peterson's attorney, David Rudolf, has argued that the main case put forward by the prosecution - that he beat her to death in the stairwell - didn't happen. Instead there was a third party: an owl.

It may sound unbelievable, but Netflix has shared a new bonus feature explaining the theory, which was discussed in Peterson's hearing.

"The owl theory is ridiculous when you first hear it," said Demonstrative Evidence Specialist Thomas Dew. "You really have to get into the evidence to understand that it was actually possible for an owl to do this."

So why didn't it come up before? T. Lawrence 'Larry' Pollard, who first came up with theory, said no one considered it at the time.

"Everybody just rushed to judgement and thought this was a murder," he said.

"The first time I heard about the Owl Theory I said to myself, 'That's totally stupid!'" says de Lestrade, who has spend more than 15 years following the case. Then later on Larry explained the theory to him.

Larry was Peterson's neighbour, and the primary reason the theory ever came up. In 2009, he filed a motion requesting the conviction be set aside and all charges dismissed or there be a new trial based on the new evidence.

He put forward that the real culprit was a 'raptor', or bird of prey.

In the motion he said: "The "Owl Theory" was advanced to the Defendant’s lawyers and the Prosecution at the conclusion of the trial, namely, that Mrs. Peterson may have been the victim of an attack by a wild bird outside her house, an attack which caused puncture wounds to her elbows, injuries on her face and around her eyes, and lacerations to her scalp."

Larry had seen the photos of Kathleen's injuries. She had several lacerations across her head, which Larry thought looked like talon marks.

The expert witness said the marks were from blunt force trauma, but couldn't explain how many blows to the head would be made in this trident form, though he admitted it was a weird shape.

Larry said Mrs Peterson was outside at the time of the attack, she reached up as the owl swooped and took hold of her head, leaving the talon marks.

He also mentioned "the presence of blood droplets on the brick walkway and the slate landing outside the home" as well as "the existence of feathers attached to Mrs. Peterson's hair and found by the medical examiner clutched in her left hand with fresh blood."

Barred owls attack

Dr Alan Van Norman, MD, a neurosurgeon and ornithology expert, said: "It should be mentioned that barred owls, are known to owl experts to attack people, out of the blue, unprovoked, with no warning. So the fact Kathleen lived in a place where these owls are prevalent, and she got whacked in the head by one, is not far out of the ordinary.

One of the pieces of evidence was feathers found in her hands - microscopic, but there. It looked like she had pulled out her hair to get the owl loose.

Kathleen Peterson had hair and feathers in her hands

She had 38 hairs in one hand, 25 in the other. What they didn't realise at the time was there were microscopic feathers.

Despite this the defence never considered the theory, until the end of the hearing - when it was too late.

"It was a day or two before the closing, [so] I couldn't do anything about it," he said.

If the case had been re-tried though he added it's something he'd seriously consider raising.

The owl experts and the feathers

"I consulted with Dr. Carla Dove, the chief ornithologist from the Smithsonian Institution in DC, who agreed to do DNA testing on the feathers," Rudolf said.

Larry also consulted other people, including a neurosurgeon, a professor of veterinary medicine, and Kate P. Davis, executive director of Raptors of the Rockies. They all signed an affidavit agreeing the wounds matched an owl attack.

Davis even carried out an experiment. She took a metal salad bowl from her kitchen, covered it with clay, went out to where her own barred owl lived.

She then “picked her up over my head and dropped her on that salad bowl.”

Davis took pictures of the talon marks and sent them to Sophie, who confirmed they matched Kathleen’s injuries.

Davis then put forward a theory: Kathleen went out to take down Christmas decorations after partying, the owl hit her in the head, she pulled at it and that's how the feathers and injuries appeared, she dropped it and that's why there was blood outside.

But, importantly, Davis does say the owl wasn't a direct cause of death. "She fell in the staircase twice," she said. Kathleen was already compromised, walking up steep stairs.

Where she was seen slumped

The blood

Daniel George, a returned crime scene technician with Durham City Police Department, doesn't even think there was a fall.

His theory is based off the blood. He recently shared his thoughts on An American Murder Mystery: The Staircase, Investigation Discovery's special on the Peterson trial.

Experts tried to work out the blood splatter pattern

"There was nothing up on the steps themselves," said George. "There’s 19 steps, but no blood any further than five feet up the steps."

De Lestrade was convinced, and continues to believe that the owl theory is the best theory explaining what happened that evening.

So the truth is: The Owl Theory argues Kathleen died from blood loss after being attacked by an owl and was not killed by Michael. Speaking to Newsweek, Michael's lawyer David Rudolf shared he and his client did not buy the theory when they first heard about it.
