A grandma’s liked ones worst worries were verified after her remains were discovered inside a 22 foot long snake in Indonesia.
Her grim death at the hands of the beast python was exposed after villagers cut the snake’s bulging stubborn belly open.
The household of Jahrah, 54, had actually ended up being stressed recently after she vanished while gathering rubber from a plantation in Jambi province.
It is believed that she was most likely swallowed whole after being bitten and suffocated to death.
Now villagers in the Tanjung Jabung Barat regency are on edge after a variety of other huge reticulated python have actually been identified in the location.
After she stopped working to return last Friday night, family members called the emergency situation services, who started browsing forest.
By Sunday early morning, frightened residents had actually discovered the huge snake extended in a cleaning with its stomach bulging.
Grim pictures and video show their fears being confirmed when they cut open the animal to discover the petite grandmother’s remains curled up inside her.
Residents carrying machetes and sticks were seen in crowds at the scene.
Footage shows one man striking the reptile with a stick before it is trapped.
The animal’s chopped up remains were then put in a bag after being covered with a tarpaulin.
Anto, Head of the Terjun Gajah village where Jahrah lived, said the snake is believed to have attacked Jahrah by biting her and then wrapping itself around her to suffocate her.
She was then eaten in a grim ordeal that would have taken at least two hours from her head to her toes.
The official added: ‘Residents killed the snake and dissected its stomach contents.
‘Everyone was astonished.
‘It turned out that the woman we were looking for was in the snake’s stomach.’
Anto said no residents witnessed when Jahrah was eaten by a snake as she went to the garden alone.
He said that the atmosphere in his village was now tense because a number of giant pythons have been seen in the village.
Previously residents tried to catch a snake that was longer, allegedly measuring around 27ft.
But its enormous size meant they could not capture it.
Anto continued: ‘Previously there were three people who found and tried to catch a 27ft long snake, but failed.
‘Villagers are now worried that bigger snakes are still in the forest.

‘The presence of this giant snake has also swallowed two resident goats.’
Indonesia has a large population of giant reticulated pythons, which live in remote forests and feed on wild animals, and very occasionally humans.
In March 2017, Akbar Salubiro was cut from the stomach of a python after being eaten alive on the Indonesian island of West Sulawesi.
In July this year, two small dogs were found inside the belly of a python in Thailand.
Meanwhile, in the UK earlier this month, a woman woke from a nap to find a three foot corn snake attempting to get into her bedroom.
