Shark attack kills another tourist

A Japanese surfer was killed on Monday after both his legs were bitten off by a shark in eastern Australia, a day after another man suffered serious injuries in the same area.

Police said the 41-year-old died at Shelly Beach, a popular tourist spot near Ballina, 190 km south of Brisbane.

A group of surfers helped get him out of the water. First aid was administered, but to no avail.
