Python strangles guard in Bali [Python 101]

 Python strangles and kills a Bali security guard.

The lush Indonesian island of Bali is a tropical paradise full of world-class hotels, amazing beaches and ridiculous yoga retreats. Itâ€s also home to the occasional terrorist bombing (2002 and 2005) and, of course, killer pythons.

One of those pythons strangled a security guard to death outside the Bali Hyatt, a luxury hotel in Baliâ€s Sanur area on Friday, reports the Daily Mail.

The victim, 59-year-old Ambar Arianto Mulyo, was an employee at a restaurant nearby.

He managed to capture the 15-foot-long snake, which had for awhile been menacing the hotel.

Mulyo spotted the snake and successfully got his hands on the serpentâ€s head and tail. Then, however, he made the fatal mistake of hoisting the python on his shoulders.

The snake wrapped itself around Mulyo in a flash and suffocated him.
