They then located a python with a distended stomach, according to The Street Journal, as reported by Bild.

Authorities subsequently opened the python's stomach and found Farida's body inside. Suardi Rosa, a local official, confirmed that the python had constricted and swallowed the woman after biting her.

*"I will never forgive myself for allowing her to go alone,"* Noni, Farida's husband, lamented.

Reticulated pythons typically prey on small animals and birds. However, in Indonesia, there have been instances of humans falling victim to these constrictors. In 2023, a Southeast Sulawesi farmer was killed by an eight-metre python. The following year, in the same province, the body of a 54-year-old woman was found inside a seven-metre python. Another incident in 2017 involved a man on a palm oil plantation in West Sulawesi who succumbed to a four-metre python's attack.
