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.

A man snorkeling on his honeymoon in the Seychelle Islands was mauled by a shark as his bride sunning on the beach heard his screams.

Ian Redmond, 30, died of his injures Tuesday.

Redmond had been swimming in tranquil waters of Anse Lazio beach on the island of Praslin Tuesday when the shark attacked. His wife of two weeks, Gemma Houghton, had been sun tanning on the shore during the attack.

There were only 61 confirmed unprovoked attacks by sharks on humans worldwide in 2004, according to the International Shark Attack File (ISAF). Only seven people people died: including two in Australia and one each in California, Hawaii, South Africa, and Brazil. (The location of the remaining fatality was not specified.)

OW TO AVOID AN ATTACK

• Stay away from the mouths of rivers after heavy rains, when freshwater fishes and other animals are swept out to sea.

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.
