He disappeared on Sunday on the island of Sulawesi.
Police say they found a huge snake they suspected had swallowed the man.
The reticulated python, reported to be seven metres long, was cut open and the man’s body was found.
Village secretary Salubiro Junaidi said: “People had heard cries from the palm grove the night before Akbar was found in the snake’s stomach.
“When the snake was captured, the boots Akbar was wearing were clearly visible in the stomach of the snake.
