Police have confirmed that the human remains found in a 4.3-metre crocodile in far north Queensland are those of 62-year-old Arthur Booker.

Mr Booker, from Logan in Brisbane’s south, was last seen heading to check crab pots on the Endeavour River near Cooktown on September 30.

The Vietnam Veteran and his wife Doris were on a two-day holiday at a campsite on the river. A four-day search failed to find any sign of Mr Booker, other than two sandals and his wristwatch.
