Crocodile hunt delayed by bad weather

Bad weather today forced in police in Australia to suspend their hunt for a saltwater crocodile and the body of a man it snatched and killed, officials said.

The 13ft reptile attacked 22-year-old Brett Mann on Sunday after he was swept away by a current while bathing in Finniss River, which cuts through a flooded tropical wilderness about 50 miles south west of Darwin in the Northern Territory.
