Living in a village beside a beautiful lake sounds lovely - unless your neighbour is a giant man-eating crocodile.
Lake Victoria in Uganda is the largest lake in Africa and the second largest in the world, but it is perhaps most famous for Osama, a 75-year-old Nile crocodile responsible for killing and eating 80 people.
The 16ft-long beast terrorised the residents of Luganga a village in Uganda, for years. From 1991 to 2005, in a particularly bloodthirsty spell, he wiped out a tenth of the village's population.
Stories swirled about how the killer croc would snatch children as they filled buckets of water at the shore of the lake, or swim beneath fishing boats and purposefully capsize them.
Conniving, ruthless, unstoppable - villagers were convinced Osama, named after the notorious terrorist behind the 9/11 attack, was immortal or, as some whispered, Satan himself.
One man witnessed - and survived - an attack by the fearsome reptile, but his brother was not so lucky.
