For those who love to go to Sentosa especially to swim at Siloso
Beach..... beware!!
A Singaporean has been killed in a shark attack at the popular
beach resort of Sentosa near the city. Hospital staff said the
21-year old suffered extensive injuries, losing both arms below the
elbow and sustaining deep wounds to her leg.
Police suspect that several sharks carried out the attack, which
happened on Siloso Beach on the poular resort island of Sentosa.
The victim was thought to have been swimming in shallow water with
a local church group when she was attacked.
Tiger sharks are notorious for being aggressive during the mating
season.
"If we found them, I suppose we would try to retrieve them and see
if they have any body parts," said Singapore Police inspector
Kenneth Lee.
"Realistically, it's virtually impossible [but] the idea is to
retrieve what we can."
The victim was swimming with friends and her dod about 15m (49 ft)
offshore when she was attacked in water which had become murky and
muddy after a storm on Friday night.
Lifeguards near the site of the attackon Siloso Beach said they
often saw sharks in the water and had been concerned about a
possible attack.
Friends carried Tammy Wee from the water and she was quickly
transported to hospital by ambulance. However she had lost large
amounts of blood and gone into shock. She died later in
hospital.
