A crocodile killed a Protestant pastor who was baptising followers near a lake in southern Ethiopia in early June.

Docho Eshete was conducting the ceremony for about 80 people at Lake Abaya in Arba Minch town’s Merkeb Tabya district. Residents and police said a crocodile leapt from the water during the baptism and attacked him.

Pastor Docho died after being bitten on his legs, back and hands.
