Swimmers carry the victim of the shark attack from the water.
He died of blood loss. A five-metre shark that killed one man and attacked another in shallow water at Perth's Cottesloe beach will be hunted down and destroyed if it returns to the area. West Australian Fisheries Minister Monty House yesterday signed a permit allowing the white pointer to be killed after the early-morning attack, which was watched by horrified patrons at a fashionable beachside cafe. Although the shark is a legally protected species, Mr House said it would be killed in the interest of public safety. The shark was in the same category as any rogue animal, like a domestic dog that turned vicious, he said.
