Woman Found Dead Inside Python’s Belly In Indonesia
A chilling discovery was made in central Indonesia on July 3, as a 36-year-old woman, Ms. Siriati, was found dead inside the belly of a python. This shocking incident marks the second python killing in the province within a month. Ms. Siriati had left her house on the morning of July 2 to buy medicine for her sick child. However, she never returned, prompting her relatives to launch a search.
Her husband, Mr. Adiansa, 30, found her slippers and pants on the ground about 500 meters from their house in Siteba village, South Sulawesi province. Mr. Adiansa’s search led him to a spot about 10 meters from the path, where he spotted a snake with a suspiciously large belly.
He called the villagers to help cut open the snake’s stomach, revealing the lifeless body of Ms. Siriati. Local police chief Idul confirmed the incident, stating that the snake was still alive when it was found. Village secretary Iyang also corroborated the story, highlighting the unusual size of the python’s belly.
This tragic event is not the first of its kind in the region. Just last month, a woman was found dead inside a reticulated python in another district of South Sulawesi.
In 2023, an 8-meter python was killed in the province after it was found strangling and eating a farmer. Similar incidents have occurred in recent years, including a 54-year-old woman found dead inside a 7-meter python in Southeast Sulawesi’s Muna town in 2018, and a farmer swallowed by a 4-meter python at an oil palm plantation in West Sulawesi the previous year.

Echoes Of Unfulfilled Promises In Nigeria’s Journey
As Nigeria commemorates its 64th Independence anniversary, the stark contrast between celebration and the persistent challenges of corruption, mismanagement, and unfulfilled promises becomes evident.
The editorial revisits historical attempts at reform, such as the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission’s (ICPC) prosecutions and the House of Representatives’ inquiry into the unfulfilled $14.5 million aircraft repair contract. Many of these initiatives have faded from public memory, leaving questions about accountability unresolved.
High-profile corruption cases, including the Halliburton scandal involving alleged bribes of $180 million, highlight systemic failures within the political landscape.
The editorial emphasizes the need for collective action from citizens, civil society, and the media to demand transparency and accountability. It warns that without addressing these entrenched failures, Nigeria’s path toward democracy and good governance may continue to be fraught with unfulfilled promises.

CARICOM Development Fund donates $270,000 to St. Vincent and the Grenadines for Hurricane Beryl Relief
The CARICOM Development Fund (CDF) has donated US$100,000 (ap-proximately EC$270,000) to the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to support recovery efforts following the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl.
The funds, drawn from the CDF’s Emergency Disaster Assistance Facility (EDAF), will aid in the removal and transportation of debris from the three Grenadine islands of Canouan, Mayreau, and Union Island.
The grant will finance sea transportation of the debris for safe recycling in neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago, protecting fragile ecosystems and establishing access corridors for relief de-livery.
Hurricane Beryl, a Category 4 storm, caused widespread damage and three deaths in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, particularly on the Grenadines islets.
