A 54-year-old grandmother identified as Jarah has been attacked and swallowed by a 22-foot python in Indonesia. This happened when she went into the garden in search of rubbers.
Jarah could not be traced on Friday night in woodland near her family home.
Her family raised the alarm about her disappearance even as locals sent out search parties to look for her.A huge snake was found with a swollen stomach and after it was dissected, her body was found inside.
Anto, the head of Jarah’s village who like many Indonesians uses just one name, said the python likely killed her by using its body to suffocate her.
The official said: “The victim did not come home after saying goodbye to her family to go to the garden collecting rubber from trees on Friday.
“Her family then reported her missing to the local authorities, and a search has been carried out since then.
“Residents killed the snake and dissected its stomach. Everyone was astonished. It turned out that the woman we were looking for was in the snake’s stomach.”
Anto said nobody knew when Jahrah was eaten by a snake as he did not go into the forest with anyone.
