The attack happened just after 1 p.m. on Sunday as the man was diving from a boat at Cull Island, located off the south coast town of Esperance.

The Department of Primary Industries confirmed the attack, saying, “a man received fatal injuries after being bitten by a reported (great) white shark.”

The body of the man, who has yet to be identified, has not been found.

“Esperance Police and Marine Rescue WA volunteers deployed to the area on board the marine rescue vessels,” a police spokesperson said. “They are still searching the ocean for the victim.”

A woman who was on board the boat at the time of the attack was treated at an area hospital for shock.

The incident on Sunday was the second fatal shark attack in the area in less than three years.

In April 2017, 17-year-old Laeticia Brouwer died after being attacked by a great white shark while surfing with her father off Esperance.

The area, famous for its white beaches and stunning blue water, is thought to be popular for abalone diving, according to Sky News.

According to reports, escaping from prison in 2002, Song Jiang, who is 63 years old, was being held for trafficking women and children. His arrest was announced on Friday by Yongshan police.

Song Jiang had been taking shelter in a tiny cave cut off from human interaction for years, the BBC reported.

However, in a bid to find him out, a search by the police with drones spotted a blue-colored steel tile on a steep cliff and household trash that was strewn nearby, according to the BBC.

Yongshan Police travelled the spot on foot and found Jiang on September 19, Sky News reported.

The news outlet also reported that he had been in seclusion right up in the mountains and behind his home in Yunnan Province for so long that it was difficult for him to talk with the officers.

Police deployed the drones after getting a tip about Jiang’s whereabouts.

Metropolitan Police officer Avi Maharaj had reported to a south London home in February last year after the death of a 14-year-old boy who was found hanged at the address.

While guarding the property and waiting for funeral home personnel to arrive, Maharaj used the father’s TV cable account to download four clips worth more than $30, Sky News reported.

The officer downloaded four clips worth £25.96 on the family’s cable service, but tried to falsify logs to cover his tracks.

He attempted to cover his tracks by falsifying attendance logs to show that he arrived at the property two hours earlier than he actually did.

The boy’s father – identified in court as Graham Miller – initially believed that the videos had been downloaded by his son, but a call to the cable company uncovered that they were purchased after the boy’s death.

According to prosecutors, the videos were downloaded between 11 p.m. and 11:42 p.m. Maharaj claimed he left the property just before midnight, but the police vehicle he was in remained parked outside the home until nearly 1:45 a.m.

On Thursday, Maharaj, who initially denied the allegations before pleading guilty to fraud by misrepresentation in July, was sentenced to 12 months in jail.

“All right-thinking people would be appalled by your gross lack of decency and respect in indulging yourself at all in those circumstances,” Judge Deborah Taylor said in court, according to Sky News.

Andrew has come under new scrutiny for his friendship with Epstein after the financier killed himself three weeks ago in a New York City lockupwhere he was being held on sex trafficking charges involving young girls.

The 59-year-old Duke of York said in a statement Saturday that he met Epstein 10 years ago and saw him infrequently, probably no more than once or twice a year, Sky News reported.

But Andrew acknowledged being Epstein’s houseguest “in a number of his residences,” according to the news outlet.

“At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction,” Andrew said in a statement.

Epstein avoided federal charges after pleading guilty in 2008 to in Florida to soliciting prostitution from a minor. He served nights in prison over a 13-month period as part of the sweetheart deal.

Andrew said it was a “mistake and an error” to see Epstein after his release in 2010.

He also said he had “tremendous sympathy for all those affected by Epstein’s behavior.

“His suicide has left many unanswered questions and I acknowledge and sympathize with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure,” Andrew continued.
