Video footage showed local men spearing the giant snake with a long stick and bashing it on its head.

They then cut open her stomach with knives and machetes, revealing the remains of the woman.

There is speculation that the clearing of forest for palm oil cultivation in countries such as Indonesia is leading to greater contact between pythons and humans.

The chief of the local village, named Anto, said the woman would have been snatched by the snake’s jaws and then slowly suffocated to death.

“The victim did not come home after saying goodbye to her family to go to the garden collecting rubber from trees on Friday. Her family then reported her missing to the local authorities, and a search has been carried out since then.

“The snake was killed by locals, who then dissected its stomach. Everybody was shocked. It turned out that the woman we were looking for was in the snake’s stomach.”
