A police chief said the woman's body appeared to be largely intact when it was found.
A woman in Indonesia's Jambi province was killed and swallowed whole by a python, according to local reports.
She was reported missing after failing to return that night, and search parties sent out to find her. A day later villagers found a python with what appeared to be a large stomach."The victim was found in the snake's stomach," Betara Jambi police chief AKP S Harefa told local media outlets, adding that her body appeared to be largely intact when it was found.
After the snake - which was at least 5m long - was spotted on Monday, villagers then caught and killed it to verify the victim's identity.Though such incidents are rare, this is not the first time someone in Indonesia has been killed and eaten by a python. Two similar deaths were reported in the country between 2017 and 2018.Pythons swallow their food whole. Their jaws are connected by very flexible ligaments so they can stretch around large prey.
