Man survives crocodile attack in 2016, killed by hippo in 2018

Luck ran out for a fisherman after a hippo killed him a year after he narrowly escaped a crocodile attack in almost the same spot at Usoma beach in Kisumu West.

The deceased met his demise when the hippo rammed his boat knocking him into the water before proceeding to attack him.

Locals suspect that the hippo was very territorial because it had just given birth.

“He was at the back of the boat. The attack happened so fast that I could not help him.” recounted one witness.Lightning speed

He is said to have spent three months in hospital after the crocodile attack and had just returned to fishing.
