Pictures Of Brothers, Age 5 And 7, Who Were Crushed In Their Sleep By 16-Foot Python That Slithered Into Their Room Through A Vent

Two small brothers, age 5 and 7, have been tragically strangled to death in their sleep in Canada, by a massive 16-foot python that escaped from a pet store below the apartment where the children were staying the night.

The first pictures have emerged of little Connor and Noah Barth, who were sleeping soundly when the 100-pound African Rock Python fell from the ceiling and attacked them.

The boys were spending the night with Jean-Claude Savoie, who lives above the Reptile Ocean pet store that he owns in the tiny New Brunswick city of Campbellton. Reptile Ocean is home to a veritable menagerie of exotic animals, including crocodiles, tarantulas, tortoises and at numerous snakes.

Mr Savoie described to Global News how he walked into the living room and found the two boys dead about 6.30am on Monday. He found the snake coiled in a hole nearby.

He said the creeping serpent slithered upstairs into his apartment through the ventilation ducts and creped into the ceiling.
Why will you live where you have these dangerous creatures in the first place? RIP  Boys.
