A video of the incident from local volunteers allegedly shows the group cutting open the animal and revealing the missing woman's remains.

"We found the victim’s body in the snake’s stomach," a local police chief explained, according to reports.

Experts believe Jahrah must have suffered a long and painful death, and suspect the animal suffocated her by wrapping itself around her before swallowing her. The event could have taken hours.

Previous incidents of people being killed and devoured by snakes were reported in Indonesia in 2017 and 2018.
