A six-year old boy was bitten to death by a poisonous snake which was suspected to have escaped floodwaters to seek warm and dry refuge in his bed without his knowledge.
The mother of the boy,told reporters that her parents put her boy to bed at about 7 pm. Monday night. At about 9 pm, the boy coughed violently and complained of severe stomach-ache, so they carried him from the bed for a body scrub with a towel soaked in water only to find to their shock a two-feet long black and white snake on the bed.
