Abstract

In October 2018 inside the OLAM company, 21 people including DADI AFENDI and YUNANI noticed the presence of a python in their work place. They then called one known as Sugang who had an experience in snakes capture. Sugang then came, captured the animal and released him later on in the presence of the suspects and some collegues. When informed, the State counsel chambers seized the wildlife administration who caught the suspects. Both admitted to have only watched when the animal was caught until it was released by Sugang.
