Australia shark attack: British victim hailed as ?wonderful father? - The Guardian Australia

Paul Millachip, 57, who is understood to have been from the UK, was last seen in the water on Saturday by two teenagers who witnessed what they believed was a shark attack off Port Beach in North Fremantle, Perth.

The ABC reported that, according to witnesses, Millachip was swimming next to the dinghy in which the teenagers were travelling when a tiger shark and a great white shark attacked him.

On Sunday, the police said it was apparent the attack had been fatal and the search for Millachip had been called off.

His wife, who did not wish to be named, told Australian broadcasters of her gratefulness for the efforts of teenagers on a nearby boat who helped raise the alarm.

She added both their families were currently overseas and said she was grateful for the support from her local friends.
