Two children on a sleepover at an apartment above an exotic pet store in Campbellton, N.B., were strangled to death by a python that apparently escaped from the shop.
RCMP said in a news release that its major crime unit was investigating after police were called to the apartment at 6:30 a.m. Monday. They found two boys, aged five and seven, dead.
"The boys had been sleeping over at the apartment of a friend, which is located above a reptile store," the Mounties said.
"The preliminary investigation has led police to believe that a large exotic snake had escaped its enclosure at the store sometime overnight, and got into the ventilation system, then into the upstairs apartment. It's believed the two boys were strangled by the snake."
The snake was captured and was in the RCMP's possession.
Autopsies were scheduled to be performed on Tuesday.

That sucks indeed!
Snakes suck too and anyone that needs to have a python for a pet has some deep psychological issues imo.

They kill to eat and that snake was beyond starving.. the two must have been sleeping side by side and the snake lunged and wrapped both of them at the neck an chest. They are lightning fast.
There def is no god when two children die that way. Whole ordeal probably lasted 10 minutes. Unreal.

So the snake knew what it was doing was evil? Animals are not moral agents.
