Nature Strikes Back

Ahh, sweet Poetic Justice?  From the AP:

“ANGON, Myanmar - A crocodile reportedly attacked and killed one of four men under arrest for illegal logging in a Myanmar wildlife sanctuary.

The state-run newspaper Kyemon says the four men were being transported to a detention centre by boat last month when a crocodile knocked the victim out of the boat and killed him.

The dead man, Myint Zaw, and three others were accused of illegal possession of mangrove trees believed to have been cut in the Meinmahla Kyun Wildlife Sanctuary.

The sanctuary, southwest of the country’s biggest city, Yangon, was established in 1994.

It is inhabited by endangered saltwater crocodiles that live in the mangrove swamps.”
