Missing Indonesian woman found inside Python in one piece

In central Indonesia, a 36-year-old woman named Siriati was found dead inside a snake after it swallowed her whole while she was on her way to buy medicine for her child. This marks the second python attack in the province in a month, highlighting rare but tragic incidents of human-swallowing pythons in recent years in the region.

A woman in central Indonesia was found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole, police said on Wednesday. This is the second python killing in the province in a month.
Siriati, a 36-year-old woman was missing after she left her house on Tuesday morning to buy medicine for her sick child, police said, prompting relatives to launch a search party.

Her slippers and pants were found on the ground by her husband. The things were found about 500 meters from their house in Siteba village, South Sulawesi province.
"Shortly after that, he spotted a snake, about 10 metres from the path. The snake was still alive," local police chief Idul, who like many Indonesians has one name, told AFP.
Village secretary Iyang told AFP that Adiansa became suspicious after noticing the python's "very large" belly. He called the villagers to help cut open its stomach, where they found her body.
Although such incidents are considered extremely rare, several people have been swallowed by pythons in recent years.
A woman was first found dead last month inside the belly of a reticulated python in another district of South Sulawesi.

In the previous year, residents in the province killed an eight-meter python, which was found strangling and eating one of the farmers in a village.
A 54-year-old woman was found dead in 2018 inside a seven-meter python in Southeast Sulawesi's Muna town.
The year before, a farmer in West Sulawesi went missing before being found being swallowed by a four-meter python at a palm oil plantation.
