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 woman was dead.
The lady, 54-year-old Wa Tiba went to check her garden on the 14th of June, 2015, 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.

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.
He continued, “It cannot be concluded about the cause of whether the related habitat is disturbed it can not be concluded,”
Police superintendent Agung Ramos said: ”People took the snake into the village and started splitting the snake. The suspicions were true and there was a body intact inside the snake. Unfortunately, the victim was lifeless.”
