By Vision Reporter A man in Muterere village, Bugiri District, who killed a big snake was attacked and killed by an army of similar snakes that very night. Isooba, a farmer, was attending to his crops when he came across the big serpent. He reacted quickly and cut it into two parts using a shovel. However, surprisingly, the part with the head chased and bit Isooba's right heel. When he sought medical attention, he was told it was just a bruise and nothing serious. In the night, the snakes launched their attack. Next morning Isooba was found dead in his bed. He was surrounded by so many snakes. The strange bit was that one part of the snake he had earlier killed was hanging from his mouth. This scared the villagers who fled from the house. Later, a local medicine-man lured away the angry reptiles and cleansed the homestead. Ends.
