Police and wildlife officers will examine the bodies of the animals for signs of 65-year-old Kevin Darmody, who was last seen while fishing on Saturday.
The remains of a crocodile killed by wildlife officers have been found to contain "items of relevance" in the search for a Far North Queensland publican who went missing while fishing on Saturday.Wildlife officers shot two crocodiles just upstream of where the publican was last seenTwo crocodiles, which measured 4.1 metres and 2.8m, were shot dead about 1.
The attack was not seen but the other fishermen reported hearing Mr Darmody yell, followed by a loud splash.Michael Joyce, the Department of Environment and Science's manager of northern wildlife operations, said rangers killed the crocodiles "together … within 10 seconds of one another" on Monday night.
Police spoke with members of the group who were fishing with Mr Darmody when he was taken by a crocodile. But anglers who fish there regularly say it is notorious for the presence of many crocodiles, including one about 4 metres long.
