Video footage shows shocking moment man is cut out of the body of a python

A man who went missing in a remote Indonesian village on the island of west Sulawesi on Sunday night was found inside a seven-metre-long python.


Video footage released by Viral Press shows the horrifying moment 25-year-old Akbar Salubiro’s body was grisly cut out of the giant snake’s belly.

Neighbours reported cries from the palm grove the night Mr Salubiro went missing, but it wasn’t until the next day when their fears were confirmed.

According to reports, Salubiro was swallowed alive by the snake after he left his home to harvest palm oil on Sunday night. His family and friends became worried over his whereabouts when he didn't return home and began looking for him the next evening. They then spotted a python in Mr Salubiro’s backyard looking a little, well, full.

 

His body, still intact, was discovered inside the snake's body after residents sliced open its belly.

The boots Akbar was wearing were clearly visible in the stomach of the snake.

Reticulated pythons are a species found in South East Asia and are among the world’s largest snake species. The breed – which squeezes prey until it suffocates – has been responsible for several human deaths.
