Summary
A three-year-old boy is critically but stable after being allegedly thrown into a crocodile enclosure at a zoo, sparking an ongoing investigation. Zoo staff rescued him before he was rushed to hospital. Meanwhile, e-commerce giant Wowcher faced public outrage for sending an email mocking the attack with the subject line “Snap up these deals quicker than a croc can catch a kid.” The company swiftly apologized, calling the wording unacceptable and unapproved, vowing to overhaul internal processes. A 30-year-old man with learning difficulties was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but released on bail pending further investigation; he was not known to the child or family. Authorities continue to support the boy and his family as they work to uncover how the tragic incident occurred. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
