Missing Australian man's remains found in two crocodiles

After a fisherman from Laura, Australia went missing on Saturday afternoon (April 29) while fishing in the Kennedy River at Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park in Queensland, a search and rescue operation was initiated.

However, according to the police, the operation has now been terminated after human remains were discovered inside two crocodiles on Wednesday (03).


The victim was reported to have gone missing while fishing in the northeastern part of Australia, approximately 250 miles north of Cairns.

The police stated, Kevin Darmody, a 65-year-old man who has been identified in Australian media as the victim, was part of a group that went fishing in far north Queensland on Saturday.

It was reported that the group had to scare off a crocodile to begin their fishing expedition.

Cairns police inspector Mark Henderson also reported that individuals who were fishing with the victim heard him "yell, scream very loudly, followed by a large splashing of water".

Later, rangers discovered two crocodiles, one measuring around 4.2 meters (14 feet) and the other 2.8 meters (9 feet), upstream from the group's fishing location within Lakefield National Park.

The rangers had to use rifles to shoot and kill the crocodiles.

The Government has swapped a proposed tax cut for cheaper bus travel

Burnham’s personal allowance U-turn explained: What the government is offering instead

  • The Government has dropped plans to increase the personal tax-free allowance, citing pressure on the public finances.
  • Most bus fares in England will be capped at £2 from January 1, 2027.
  • Ministers say the measures are aimed at easing living costs, although questions remain over funding.

Anyone hoping for a higher personal tax-free allowance under prime minister Andy Burnham will have to wait.

After suggesting during the election campaign that raising the tax-free allowance was one of the issues raised most often by voters, Burnham has now ruled out the move, saying the UK's financial position makes it too expensive. Instead, the Government has announced that the £2 bus fare cap will return across most of England from January 1, 2027, positioning it as another measure to help households cope with the cost of living.
