A 3M python lurking in a toilet has bitten a Thai man on the penis, local media said yesterday.

The 45-year-old man was rushed to hospital after being bitten by the snake at his home in Bangkok, local newspaper Daily News reported.

“I felt something bite my penis. When I saw the snake, I instinctively caught it with my hands so it could let me go,” the man, who got 15 stitches on his penis, told the newspaper.

Rescuers later caught the python and released it back into the wild, the paper reported. |

POLICE in Ethiopia said they have found a mass grave with 200 bodies near the border between the Somali and Oromia regions of the country and were trying to identify the bodies, the BBC reported.

The grave was found during an investigation into alleged atrocities committed by the former president of Ethiopia’s Somali region, Abdi Mohamed, who is awaiting trial over allegations he fuelled ethnic clashes.

A notorious regional security force known as the Liyu police is accused of carrying out killings in the area and it reported directly to the regional president. |
