A dead python that was dumped by the roadside near Borrowdale Race Course this morning has become a subject of mystery as witnesses continue to give contradicting statements about the unusual event.
According to some, an unidentified woman driving a Land Rover Discovery dropped a sack along Borrowdale Road this morning. It is alleged that an airtime vendor, out of curiosity, opened the sack and discovered the snake, which is in its early stages of decomposition.
However, some allege that a woman threw the sack from a commuter omnibus.
