   A man, who was swimming today at Murawai beach near Auckland, was attacked by a shark and died in the water. The man lived at Murawai. He was married with a young family.


  One fisherman, who was on rocks nearby, said he saw two sharks. Another fisherman thought there were 3 or 4 sharks. One shark expert said that it was possibly a Bronze Whaler shark because the Great White is usually alone. However, the police said it was a Great White. It was 4m long.
