Killer shark that ate Russian tourist at beach in Egypt caught and paraded by fishermen - who punch and kick its dead body
Vladimir Popov, 23, died after being attacked by a tiger shark near the city of Hurghada, Egypt's environment ministry has confirmed.
Mr Popov's father has spoken about how he was forced to watch his son being mauled to death by the tiger, as he screamed "papa, save me". "We went to the beach to relax," Yury Popov told the 112 media outlet. "My son was attacked by a shark, it all happened in seconds." "What kind of help can you give? This meat grinder happened in 20 seconds, he was just dragged under the water," he added.Mr Popov continued: "This is an absolutely ridiculous coincidence, because it is a safe beach. There are ships and yachts around. It's never happened there. They usually attack on wild beaches. It's just some kind of evil fate."
Footage taken after the attack appears to show the shark being caught by fishermen, who drag it ashore. They appear to attack the shark's dead body.
