Mubarak Batambuze the Man Who Killed Crocodile Monster in Revenge of his 8 Months Pregnant Wife.

Mubarak Batambuze has been hailed as a hero since he slew the man-eating monster, which was more than four metres long and weighed about 600kg, according to Ugandan Wildlife Authority ranger Oswald Tumanya.UGANDA, Africa, Monday February 9, 2015 – A grieving widower, whose pregnant wife was eaten by a massive crocodile, exacted revenge on the beast by slaughtering it with a spear after a 90-minute duel to the death.

The massive predator had snatched Batambuze’s eight-month pregnant wife Demeteriya Nabire as she collected water from Lake Kyoga with a group of friends about four months ago.

According to local media reports, the killer crocodile was suspected of eating six women and children who had gone to fetch water at the same spot, but until Batambuze took matters into his own hands, residents of the area had failed to stop the carnage.

Last month, Batambuze, a 50-year-old fisherman, heard that the monster was back. He decided the time had come to act, but first he needed a weapon.

“I really wanted my revenge, and asked the blacksmith to make me a spear that could kill the crocodile dead,” he told the BBC World Service.

This spear was no average weapon. The blacksmith designed it with a barb along one side, so that when plunged into the crocodile’s belly it would rip the beast’s flesh when pulled out.

Batambuze reportedly tied a rope to the shaft of the spear then, with a few friends from the village, he went to meet the monster that had killed his wife and child.

The huge crocodile was still at the water’s edge when the group arrived, but when Batambuze’s companions saw its size, they begged him not to provoke it.

But there was no stopping the bereaved and aggrieved Batambuze.

“I’m not bothered if I die killing this beast. I’m going to take it on with this spear, and I will make sure that it dies,” he swore.

While his friends took to freight.

After instructing his friends to throw stones to distract the crocodile, the widower charged and drove his spear deep into the crocodile's side. Enraged, it tried to bite back, but Mr Batambuze was able to dodge its deadly jaws.

'It turned violent, and then there was so much fear in the place,' he told the BBC. 'But I was so determined, and I wasn't afraid of dying.

'I just wanted it dead, so I put the spear in its side and I pulled the rope. That got the crocodile into trouble.'

But even with its belly ripped open, the monster was not ready to lie down and die. Mr Batambuze and his friends spent an hour and a half battling the beast, attacking and retreating, striking and dodging.

Finally, it was dead and Mr Batambuze and his victorious crew dragged the crocodile back to their village. Neighbours were shocked at its immense size, he said.
