A Stifle Python

Amber Arianto Mulyo, aged 59, was strangled to death by a python outside the luxury Hyatt hotel on the island resort of Bali in Indonesia.  It happened at around 3am in the morning on 25^th December, 2013.  He was a security guard for a nearby restaurant and when he saw that the 15ft long snake was crossing a road near the hotel, he offered his assistance.  He managed to grip the snakes head as well as its tail.  Having a secure hold of the snake he placed it onto his shoulders, at that moment the situation turned grim as the snake wrapped itself around Mulyo’s body, squeezed tightly and suffocated him to death.  Once Mulyo was dead the snake unwrapped itself and slithered off into the nearby bushes.  Agung Bawa, the assistant security manager at the hotel stated, “It happened so fast.  We were sad because we could not do anything to help him.”  The police thoroughly searched the area but were unable to find the Python.
