Sunday Night: May 6

Denham Hitchcock hears about a crocodile attack off a Queensland beach while a culling debate rages.

On Sunday Night Denham Hitchcock speaks with Leanne Mitchell, whose best friend was the victim of a crocodile attack off a Queensland beach.

It’s a balmy night. Two best friends, Leanne Mitchell and Cindy Waldron, are taking a stroll on a remote Queensland beach.

They’ve been celebrating. Leanne has just beaten breast cancer. Arm-in-arm, they walk into the shallows.

Suddenly, Cindy cries out in shock and pain. Then, with astonishing force and speed, both friends are dragged out into the deep by a massive crocodile.

What Leanne does in a vain attempt to save Cindy from the four-metre man-eater is extraordinary.

For the first time on Sunday Night, she reveals what happened that terrifying night.

As Denham Hitchcock reports, Leanne’s story is at the centre of a fierce debate over crocodile culling across northern Australia.

It’s a debate that’s divided wildlife experts, among them passionate anti-culling crusader Terri Irwin.

Sunday at 9.00pm on Seven.
