PRESS ASSOCIATION -- The widow of a man killed by a shark on their dream honeymoon in the Seychelles has described the moment she heard his "awful scream".
Gemma Redmond said she first thought her husband, Ian, was sneezing as he was snorkelling.
But Mrs Redmond, from Nelson, Lancashire, said she soon realised he was in terrible trouble.
In an interview with the BBC, she said: "I can see the top of his snorkel because he had a bright orange band around it so I could always follow where he was.
"And, all of a sudden, I heard this 'Help' and I thought at first he was sneezing. And then I heard it again - I heard 'Help' and the most awful scream. I can still hear it when I close my eyes."
Mrs Redmond said she was sitting with their bag on the beach and her 30-year-old husband had been in the water for 20 minutes when he was attacked.
She said Mr Redmond had earlier laughed off the dangers of sharks and described how they had gone to the Seychelles partly because they thought the islands were free from dangerous animals.
Mrs Redmond said she had asked a receptionist if there were sharks and was told: "No, not in the Seychelles, the Seychelles are very safe waters." She said: "We didn't really think that sharks would be in the Seychelles at all. It wasn't something we were aware of."
Earlier this month, a 36-year-old French tourist was killed by a shark in the same area. Government officials have issued a ban on swimming in certain areas until the killer is captured. Search teams are still trying to find the animal and discover what species it is by examining a tooth they recovered.
It is thought that the parents of the couple have travelled to the Seychelles following the attack.
