POLICE say it's still uncertain if a two-metre crocodile - shot dead on Melville Island - had killed a man missing since Friday night.

NORTHERN Territory Police say it is still too soon to know if a two-metre crocodile killed Travis Costa, who has been missing for almost a week.

THE 22-year-old Aboriginal from Pirlangimpi community, on Melville Island in the Tiwi Islands about 100km north of Darwin, left the community on foot on Friday night.
