British Man Eaten By Shark In Australia
A 35-year-old British man has been named as the victim of Sydney's first fatal shark attack in nearly 60 years.
>Mr Nellist - who was a diving instructor - was mauled by a great white shark just off Little Bay in east Sydney. He was a member of the city's Scuba Diving Social Club and a regular swimmer at the beach, BBC Sydney correspondent Shaimaa Khalil reports.
>The state government said its shark experts had estimated the predator to be a great white shark "at least three metres" in length based on footage of the incident taken by a member of the public.
>Several passers-by who witnessed the scene have described a vicious and frenzied attack.
>"[The person] was swimming and a shark came and attacked [them] vertically," Kris Linto told Nine News.
>"We heard a yell and turned around, it looked like a car had landed in the water, a big splash then the shark."
>One man recounted how he had been fishing on the rocks when he saw the swimmer get dragged under.
>"It was terrible. I am shaking. I keep vomiting. It's very, very upsetting," he told ABC News.
>Authorities managed to retrieve body parts from the water two hours after the attack.
