Tragic: 42-Year-Old Man Strangled To Death By His Pet Python In Indonesia

A 42-year-old man by the name Jana has been killed by his favourite snake pet, a python in Indonesia.

The incident happened while the man in question was bathing his love pet.

Tori.ng reports that: The man was strangled to death by the snake.

While most people are afraid of snakes, there is a small subset of pet lovers with a passion for the scaly serpents.

Unfortunately for one Indonesian man, his love of pythons led to his own death after his favorite snake strangled him.


Jana, a 42-year-old resident of Citiru Village, in the Kutawaringin District of Bandung Regency, was found dead on Friday morning. He is believed to have been bathing his favorite python when it wrapped itself around him, killing him.

According to Jana’s wife Elah, it was their child who discovered Jana’s lifeless body behind their house that morning.

In accordance with Islamic tradition, his body was buried soon after on Friday afternoon.

Elah told reporters that Jana has long raised reptiles as a hobby and often sold snakes to others.

“I have resigned myself to the fact that my husband died because of a snake, it was fate,”  Elah said as quoted by Tribune.

The 17-kilogram python reportedly escaped down a water channel around the toilet behind Jana’s house after killing its owner, but it was eventually captured and killed to prevent it from attacking any other humans.

Rukiman, the head of the local neighborhood association in Jana’s village, said the snake was laid to rest next to its victim/owner.

“The snake that killed him was also buried close to Pak Jana’s tomb,” Rukiman said.

In another sad case of a snake owner being killed by its pet, a 17-year-old in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, died last year after being bitten by his pet cobra.

His parents refused to believe he died for several days after doctors told him he had passed away, hoping that a pawang ular (an occupation that might loosely be translated as “snake shaman”) could conduct a ritual that would bring him back to life.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
