A woman has been killed by a great white shark as she went out for early morning swim.The 39-year-old was victim of the horrific attack while she was on holiday in South Africa.

The lady hadn't ventured beyond the shallow water when the deadly predator raced in from the deep and launched a savage attack, not far from her fellow swimmers.As reported by the Mirror, she had been on the edge of a group and began screaming as the shark bit into her and vanished again.

The National Sea Rescue Institute was called to Central Beach in Plettenberg Bay as screaming swimmers and surfers cleared the water just before 8am on Saturday, September 24.A rescue craft was launched in a desperate effort to save the woman but arrived too late and found her blood soaked body around 50 feet from shore.

Local officials shut the beach and put up signs warning people to stay out of the water.The woman is the third person to be victim of a vicious great white attack in the past 11 years.
