What is the official world record for the largest crocodile from the wild ever caught alive in Asia?

Please list down all possible details, such as what was its size, where it was caught, which river it was, how many people it killed, who captured it, how it was caught and what happened to it. Remember, the crocodile must be from the wild, from somewhere in Asia, its size must be official (not just reported or rumored) and must killed some people. I appreciate all help and will be choosing a best answer. Thank you very, very much and God bless all of you.


On June 16, 2006, A 23-foot (7.1m) giant saltwater crocodile in Orissa, India and was crowned the world's largest living wild crocodile. In June 2006, this massive croc was entered in the Guinness Book of World Records. It is believed (but not verified because it could have been other crocodiles in the area) that this crocodile was responsible for the attack and death of one person, but two others have turned up missing in the area. It currently lives in Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary. Naturalists could not justify killing this living legend due to the lack of proof that it was responsible for the attack and they actually closed the area off to the general public due to the danger associated with the giant crocodile.
