A phyton attacked and killed a junior high school student in the North Sumatra regency of Deli Serdang as he and his school mates were swimming in a river, Antara reported Saturday.
Local people ran for a help and used bamboo poles to beat the giant snake as it was trying to swallow M. Zakaria. The seven-meter-long snake released its human prey due to its wounds.
The residents rushed Zakaria to Mitra Husada Hospital, but doctors could not save his life.
On Friday the local people captured a phyton near the same river, but they believed the snake was not the one that killed Zakaria.
