On July 3, 2024, a 36-year-old woman named Siriati was found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in central Indonesia. This incident occurred in Siteba village, South Sulawesi province.
According to the local police chief Idul, Siriati had gone missing on Tuesday morning after leaving her house to buy medicine for her sick child. Her husband Adiansa, 30, later found her slippers and pants on the ground about 500 meters from their home. Shortly after, he spotted a large python, estimated to be around 10 meters long, in the area.
Suspicious of the python's very large belly, Adiansa called the villagers to help cut open the snake's stomach, where they tragically found Siriati's body inside.
Village secretary Iyang confirmed that this was the second python-related killing in the province in just one month. Similar incidents, while rare, have occurred in recent years across Indonesia.
In 2023, residents in South Sulawesi killed an 8-meter python that was found strangling and eating a farmer. In 2018, a 54-year-old woman was found dead inside a 7-meter python in Southeast Sulawesi. And in 2017, a farmer in West Sulawesi went missing before being found swallowed by a 4-meter python at a palm oil plantation.
Authorities are investigating the latest tragic case, though such python attacks are considered extremely rare occurrences in the region.
女子在印尼被蟒蛇吞噬身亡
2024年7月3日,一名36歲女子西里亞蒂在印尼中部被一條蛇吞噬身亡。事件發生在南蘇拉威西省的斯泰巴村。
據當地警察主管依杜表示,西里亞蒂星期二早上離開家中去為患病孩子買藥物時失蹤了。她丈夫阿迪安薩,30歲,後來在離他們家約500米的地方發現了她的拖鞋和褲子。不久之後,他發現了一條約10米長的大蟒蛇。
阿迪安薩注意到蛇肚子異常肥大,便叫村民幫忙剖開它的肚子,結果在裡面發現了西里亞蒂的屍體。
村長伊揚證實,這是該省一個月內發生的第二宗蟒蛇殺人案。儘管這種事件很罕見,但在近年來印尼也有過類似案件。
2023年,南蘇拉威西的居民殺死了一條8米長的蟒蛇,牠正在勒死並吞噬一名農夫。2018年,一名54歲婦女在東南蘇拉威西的穆納鎮被發現在一條7米長的蟒蛇肚子裡喪生。2017年,一名西蘇拉威西的農夫在棕櫚園失蹤,最後被發現被一條4米長的蟒蛇吞噬。
當局正在調查最近這起悲慘事件,儘管這種蟒蛇襲擊在該地區被視為極為罕見的事件。
