Harrowing Footage Show Missing Farmer’s Body Intact Inside a 7-meter-long Python

He set out to harvest palm oil, but he never returned home.

25-year-old Akbar Salubiro set off to gather palm oil in his remote village on the island of West Sulawesi, Indonesia. But neighbors noticed that he didn’t return home after. They soon found out that he was missing the following day.

Neighbors then noticed an extremely large python in his backyard. The 7-meter-long Python had a swollen belly, and the villagers suddenly feared that Akbar might have been swallowed whole by the serpent.

Using an 18-inch-long hunting knife, they cut the serpent open—only to find Akbar’s body inside. His body was crushed before being swallowed whole.

Neighbour Satriawan – who knew Akbar – said: ‘He was found in the location of the garden.

‘Initially Akbar set out from his home to go to harvest palm. After not returning to his home, people looked for him.’

Akbar’s wife, Munu, was away at the time and only found out when pictures and video emerged in the news, local media reported.

Village secretary Salubiro Junaidi said: ‘People had heard cries from the palm grove the night before Akbar was found in the snake’s stomach.

‘When the snake was captured, the boots Akbar was wearing were clearly visible in the stomach of the snake.

‘Resident cut open the belly of the snake and Akbar was lifeless.’
