HORRIFYING footage captured the moment a missing woman was found inside a giant python’s belly after being eaten alive by the deadly serpent.
Locals were forced to cut open the python’s stomach to find Farida, 50, who disappeared two days ago while she was on her way to a local market near her home in, Indonesia.
Farida’s husband Noni, 55, became worried she had not returned home and alerted other people who then began searching for the mother of four.
After scouring the local areas, they found a mammoth 20ft long python with a large bulge in its stomach.
Shocking footage showed the deadly snake’s huge head and its tongue flicking from its lips.
Suspecting the worst, the devastated husband and several other locals sliced through the thick skin with a machete.
Tragically, Farida’s remains were found inside the snake’s stomach covered in slime.
The python had plunged its teeth into her leg as it coiled around her body and suffocated her before swallowing her in full, it was found.
A devastated Noni said: “I am forever sorry that I let my wife go out alone. If I had been with her that day, the snake would not have dared to touch her.
“I feel sorry for the suffering she went through. I am sorry for our family.”
Suardi Rosi, Head of the village of Kalempang where Farida and her family lived, said: “The victim’s husband looked for his wife in the nearby forest area because she had not been home for a day.
“He found a snake with a large stomach. He immediately suspected that his wife had been eaten by the python.
“Several other villages then helped him to catch the python. The body of his wife was found in the stomach of a snake. She was taken away to his house before being buried.
“This has not happened before in our village. We have warned everybody to be careful when they walk through the woods. Women should be accompanied by someone.”
Farida was removed from the snake’s belly and was taken away for a religious burial.
Indonesia has a large population of wild pythons in its vast and dense jungle, where they can thrive.
Unlike the neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia where modern infrastructure has forced such reptiles to stay out of the city limits, snakes in Indonesia roam freely in villages.
In 2022, a grandmother who disappeared in woods in Indonesia was found eaten by a giant python.
The woman, named locally as Jahrah, 54, disappeared after going out to collect rubber in the forest near her family home in Jambi, Indonesia.
She was reported missing by concerned relatives after she failed to return from her jungle quest.
Locals organised search parties and began trawling through the dense woodland in the Tanjung Jabung Barat regency.
Cops and residents then tragically stumbled across the granny – who was trapped inside the swollen stomach of a 22ft long python.
They spotted the mammoth snake with a large bulge in its belly in a clearing among trees while hunting for Jahrah.
Shocking footage captured the moment the gran’s remains were gruesomely found rotting inside the serpent’s digestive tract.
In March 2017, Akbar Salubiro was cut from the stomach of a python after being eaten alive on the island of West Sulawesi.
