Two men fought desperately to hunt away a shark as it fatally mauled a friend off one of Perth's most popular beaches today.

Local businessman and father-of-three Ken Crew, 49, died after having his leg ripped off by what fisheries officers believe to be a white pointer shark up to four metres long.

Mr Crew was returning from his daily swim when he was attacked about 30 metres off Cottesloe beach around 6.30am
