A woman in central Indonesia was found dead inside the belly of a 30-feet python after it swallowed her whole, police said Wednesday. This was the second python killing in the province in a month.
The incident took place in Siteba village in South Sulawesi province.
As per police, 36-year-old Siriati had gone missing after she left her house Tuesday morning to buy medicine for her sick child, prompting relatives to launch a search.
Her husband Adiansa found her slippers and pants on the ground about 500 metres from their house. Then he spotted a snake, about 10 metres from the path and it was still alive. Adiansa became suspicious after he noticed the python's "very large" belly. He called the villagers to help cut open its stomach, where they found her body, AFP reported.
Last month, a woman was also found dead inside the belly of a reticulated python in another district of South Sulawesi.
