Dead python with smashed head found near Kallang River. Did someone kill it?

STOMPer Elayaraja saw this dead python near Kallang River today (July 11). He wondered if it had been killed by someone.

Said the STOMPer:

"Today I saw this snake near Kallang River near Kallang Way 2.

"I thought somebody killed this python because its head was smashed.

"It measured about three metres."

Another record of a reticulated python (Broghammerus reticulatus) in urban Singapore, albeit one that's probably more suited for Monday Morgue. Unlike another recent sighting of a dead snake, there is no way of knowing if this python had been deliberately killed by a person.
