A missing Indonesian woman has been found. The woman was found in the belly of a giant python after the swollen snake was captured near her vegetable garden where she had vanished from.
The body of the 54-year-old Wa Tiba was found Friday when villagers cut open the seven-metre (23-foot) python.
“Residents were suspicious the snake swallowed the victim, so they killed it, then carried it out of the garden,” said local police chief Hamka, who like many Indonesians has only one name.
“The snake’s belly was cut open and the body of the victim was found inside.”
Some 100 residents, including worried relatives, launched a search for the woman after she failed to return from her garden Thursday night.
Hamka said villagers found the giant serpent lying about 30 metres from Tiba’s sandals and machete, adding she was swallowed head first and her body was found intact.
