A GRAN has been found dead with her head in the jaws of a deadly python which tried to swallow her.
Wa Siti, 55, was attacked by a killer 23ft python while she was picking vegetables from her own garden in Indonesia.
Her worried son La Faru went looking for her when she failed to return home.
But he was left screaming when he found his mother mid-way through being swallowed by the beast.
Wa Siti’s head was in the snake’s mouth, and her face was covered in slime when they pulled her out.
Footage showed neighbours holding their torches and machetes as they cut the snake’s head to pull out the gran.
Devastated son Saimin called relatives to help find his mother when he noticed her basket.
He said: “I was always worried about her working on the farm. I have seen big snakes before. She had worked on the farm since she was a little girl, so she was not afraid.
“She would always have her basket with her, so I knew something was wrong.”
Officials have now warned residents to beware of further snake attacks in the Buton Regency of South East Sulawesi.
Police Inspector One Hardi said: “The victim had two gardens that were close by each other. She went to harvest vegetables.
“Her son looked for her in those farms, but she was not there. He also searched in the nearby forest.
“When he went to the garden, La Faru found a basket that was usually used. Feeling that something was odd, La Faru then called his other relatives.
“They only found the victim’s basket, which she used to gather vegetables, so they immediately searched the garden.
“They found their mother with the snake wrapped around her, and her head in the snake’s mouth. The victim was already dead.”
Meanwhile, 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 while she was on her way to a local market.
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.
