A BRIT is dead and another missing after reportedly being attacked by crocodiles on a river trip.

The men, named as Ian Turton, from York, and Michael Easton, from Holland Park, west London, went missing during an excursion on the Cauvery River near Bangalore, India.

Mr Turton, 45, is believed to have died. Mr Easton, 62, is missing.

Rescuers are said to have found the pair’s inflatable dinghy, which bore puncture marks believed to have been caused by crocs.
