A human leg and arm have been found inside the belly of a huge crocodile suspected of mauling a man to death in Borneo, Indonesian police said Friday.

Authorities shot and killed the six-metre (20-foot) long crocodile close to a riverbank where a local palm oil plantation worker had gone missing two days earlier, with only his motorbike and sandals found at the site, they said.

The search ended Thursday when 36-year-old Andi Aso Erang&#39;s lifeless body -- missing two limbs -- was discovered floating in a different part of the river in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of Borneo.

Police said they spotted a crocodile nearby and killed it.

&quot;Inside the crocodile&#39;s stomach, we found the left arm and a leg that we believe belonged to the victim,&quot; local police chief Teddy Ristiawan said.

The victim&#39;s wife said he had left home to hunt for clams they could eat.

&quot;I never expected he would end up in a terrible situation like this,&quot; said Anisa, who like many Indonesians goes by one name.

In 2016, a Russian tourist was killed by a crocodile in the Raja Ampat islands, a popular diving site in the east of the archipelago.

Human-animal conflicts are rampant in Indonesia, especially in areas where the clearing of rainforest to make way for palm oil plantations is destroying animals&#39;&nbsp;habitats and bringing them into closer contact with humans.
