I Think it may be an african rock python. :/
Either way the whole ordeal seems a little far fetched. There's probably so much more to this story but they are immediately going to criminalize the snake. If anything, the snakes keeper should be held responsible for being absent minded by leaving the enclosure unlocked and or having an enclosure that doesn't suffice to house such a powerful animal. I still find the whole thing hard to believe. :/
