New Brunswick RCMP say two young boys killed in their sleep by python

This is just awful

CAMPBELLTON, N.B. - Two young boys were killed by a python snake as they slept in an apartment above an exotic pet store in northern New Brunswick, the RCMP said Monday.

Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh said the boys, aged five and seven, were visiting the apartment of a friend above Reptile Ocean Inc. in Campbellton when the incident occurred.

Rogers-Marsh said police arrived at the apartment around 6:30 a.m., at which point officers found the two dead boys.

at once? A python isn't that cunning as far as I know. Where is they find the snake? I don't think they usually kill something they don't intend to try and eat. You'd think if it was big enough to eat one or both, it would have still been there trying?
