Croc shot in WA after killing farm animals

A saltwater crocodile that killed a horse and savaged a cow, and is suspected of killing a dog, has been shot dead in Western Australia's Kimberley region.

The 3.5-metre crocodile spent six months venturing on to multiple properties around the Lower Ord River and being aggressive towards farmers and their livestock, the Department of Parks and Wildlife says.

The animal was captured and shot on Wednesday, a day after a three-metre crocodile was shot dead at Cable Beach in Broome.
