Beaches in Seychelles closed after another shark attack | News Article

Seychelles - Authorities in the Seychelles closed down beaches yesterday after a shark attacked and killed a British honeymooner as his newly-wed wife watched. This is the second fatal attack on a tourist this month. Police said Ian Redmond, 30, was hauled to shore following the attack but died from blood loss. Redmond's wife was on the Anse Lazio beach - a famous spot hailed for its white sand on the archipelago's Praslin island - and watched helplessly as her husband was mauled by the shark. The attack happened on Tuesday afternoon in the same area where a shark attacked and killed a 36-year-old French diver earlier this month.
