A missing woman was found eaten alive by a massive python after locals cut her body out of the snake in Indonesia.
Farida, 45, went missing on Thursday night. Her body was discovered inside the reticulated python Friday by her husband and residents of Kalempang village in South Sulawesi province, a local official said, according to AFP.
The search for the missing mother of four began after she failed to return home Thursday night, village chief Suardi Rosi told AFP.
Her husband "found her belongings… which made him suspicious. The villagers then searched the area. They soon spotted a python with a large belly," Suardi said.
They agreed to cut open the python's stomach. As soon as they did, Farida's head was immediately visible."
The missing woman was found fully clothed inside the massive snake, which was reported to be at least 16 feet long.
