Drama ensued on an island in Indonesia when a woman who had been declared missing for a while was found inside a large python.
The lady, 54-year-old Wa Tiba went to check her garden on Thursday, June 14, 2018. That was the last time she was ever seen and her family members were really worried and so a search was conducted by residents and police.
According to reports in the local media, the villagers and authorities in Southeast Sulawesi province found the woman’s belongings but didn’t see her.
What they saw instead was a large python so swollen that it was immobile. Suspicious as to what was inside the python, it was slain and to everyone’s shock the missing woman was found inside.
“The villagers who were suspicious brought the python back to the village and cut it open. She was found dead inside the snake with the body intact,” local police chief Agus Ramos said.
In a similar occurrence, a man was also reportedly swallowed by a snake at a palm oil plantation in West Sulawesi in March 2017.
Residents of a village in Indonesia were thrown into shock when a missing farmer was discovered inside the belly of a giant python after the swollen snake was caught near close to the place where the man had vanished while harvesting his crops.

According to Hindustan Times, the body of the 25-year-old man identified as Akbar was found when local people cut open the 23-foot python after it was found bloated and slithering awkwardly in the village of Salubiro, on the eastern island of Sulawesi on Monday, March 27, 2017.
“We were immediately suspicious that the snake had swallowed Akbar because around the site, we found palm fruit, his harvesting tool, and a boot,” a senior village official, Junaidi, told reporters.
Worried by the absence of Akbar after he had gone to his plantation on Sunday, his relatives launched a search for him to no avail.
Junaidi said the snake had swallowed the farmer whole, adding that it was the only such fatality recorded in the region.
The breed of snake, which regularly tops 20 feet, is commonly found in Indonesia and the Philippines.
