THE family of a girl killed by a crocodile wants to see widespread culling in the Top End. Her grandfather wants every croc within 100km of Darwin shot.

Briony Goodsell, 11, was taken by a croc while swimming with her seven-year-old old sister Beth and two friends at Black Jungle Swamp near their Lambells Lagoon home in Darwin's rural area last month.

Her grandfather Winston Anspach, who was the last person to see her before she rode off on her bike for a swim, told the Northern Territory News yesterday he wanted every crocodile within 100km of Darwin shot dead.

And he said he would be the first to volunteer to hit Top End waterways armed with a gun.

"Let's kill all the b-----ds," he said. "You can't have wild animals walking up the main street."

A Northern Territory News poll showed that almost 60 per cent of the 200 Territorians who responded supported a cull.
