It's not certain how the croc met its gruesome end but local experts believe it was attacked by a great white shark.
In the footage Neale can be heard saying: 'You can see where the shark has actually ripped it.
'On the side here in the flesh you can see the shark teeth.
'It’s quite normal for sharks to swim here in the sea at St Lucia and it’s also very normal for very large sharks to be very close to the shore.'
The couple, who live nearby and walk their dogs on the beach every morning at sunrise, say the cleanly severed head points to a great white.
And they say poachers are not the suspects as the head and jaw are thought of as the most valuable part of the three metre-long animal.
