A teenage girl ‘died instantly’ when she was sliced in two by a shark while snorkelling near the beach on a island in the Indian Ocean.
The 15-year-old was less than 15 feet (five metres) from the shore of the island when the savage attack took place.
Her terrified sister was among those who saw the girl disappear under the water at around 3pm.
The teenager's body was sliced in two at the torso, and then a part of her body was taken away by the shark.
The head of public safety on the island said that the girls were in an area of St Paul bay where swimming is not allowed.
The operation to recover the upper part of her body is ongoing.
