Python Attack: Snake Kills Two Sleeping Boys

A python that escaped from a pet store has killed two children by strangling them in their sleep in eastern Canada.

The two boys - aged five and seven - were sleeping at a friend's flat in the town of Campbellton when they were attacked by the snake.

The animal had escaped from a store that specialised in exotic pets located on the ground floor of the building.

"The preliminary investigation has led police to believe that a large exotic snake had escaped its enclosure at the store sometime overnight," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement.

"(It) got into the ventilation system, then into the upstairs apartment. It's believed the two boys were strangled by the snake."

The owner of the pet store, Jean Claude-Savoie, told Global News that he found a "horrific scene" when he checked on the boys.

"I thought they were sleeping and I've seen the hole in the ceiling, (and) everything has fallen. I turn the lights on and I've seen this horrific scene," Mr Claude-Savoie said.

"I have so many mixed emotions right now. I can't believe this is real."

The python has been recaptured and is being held by police.
