Shark Attack – Honeymoon Turns Nightmare in Seychelles
A British man was killed in a shark attack while on honeymoon in the paradise archipelago of Seychelles.
30-year-old Ian Martin Redmond from Lancashire was confirmed dead by the foreign office on the island country following an attack by a 6 footer shark on the Anse Lazio beach of Paslin island.
This is actually the second fatal shark attack incident in Paslin, a location which was voted as one of the best beaches in the World. Last August 2, a 36-year-old French tourist was also attacked by shark and died.

"We haven't had a reliable sighting. We don't know where that number came from. People have been guessing. We have no idea whatsoever about what type of variety of shark it would be," Jumeau said.
Jumeau told ABC News that a special committee had been assembled last night, composed of standing authorities from the National Parks, the Seychelles Fishing Authority, area police, the Coast Guard, marine biologists, hotel security and residents of the area to coordinate their actions in guarding the area and preventing a third attack.

Traveling to Seychelles beware of Shark Attacks
Sharks are apex predators, the "top dogs" of the marine world. They have a reputation as bloodthirsty killing machines, but this view is distorted. Sharks are not unique in consuming animals. For example, humans are predators, eating cattle, pigs, chickens, fish, and other creatures.
