The remains of an eight-year-old migrant boy from Nicaragua who was decapitated by a crocodile as his family watched on helplessly a month ago in Costa Rica may have been found inside a reptile that was killed over the weekend.  

Julio Otero was playing with his brother near in a river on the Caribbean coast province of Limón when he was attacked October 30.

Otero and his family were all standing together when the crocodile came out from the river, bit the third grader and dragged him into the water as his mother, Margine Fernández, desperately tried to rescue him.

'I tried to take the child away, but the crocodile attacked me and almost grabbed my leg,' Fernández told local media outlets at the time.

She spotted the crocodile dragging her son through the river about 90 minutes after the attack before it disappeared.
