On Thursday, 14 June, an Indonesian woman from Persiapan Lawela on the island of Muna went missing after visiting her corn plantation
When Wa Tiba did not return home the next morning, her sister checked the plantation located just 1km from her house.
She found footprints on the ground along with Tiba's torch, slippers, and machete, The Jakarta Post reported.
Suspicious of its swollen stomach, the locals decided to kill and dissect the snake.
Inside, they found the 54-year-old's lifeless body.
"When they cut open the snake's belly they found Tiba's body still intact with all her clothes," said the village chief Faris, Huffington Post reported.
"She was swallowed first from her head," he added.
This is the second time in less than a year that an Indonesian villager has been swallowed whole by a python
In March 2017, 25-year-old Akbar Salubiro was found dead inside a python's belly after working on his family's palm oil plantation in central Indonesia, Time reported.
