Members of RAMSI's Participating Police Force in Solomon Islands have killed a giant crocodile that was stalking a village.
Solomons Broadcasting reports the police were responding to an urgent appeal for help from the Marumbo village community near Lambi in West Guadalcanal.
It says the 4.2 metre crocodile, one of the biggest seen in recent times, was shot by two police officers.
Villagers say the crocodile had frequently been seen around homes and the local beach in recent weeks.
It killed one of the village pigs and started following children as they played near the water.
SIBC quotes the villagers as saying everyone in the area is very relieved the crocodile is dead.
