FOUR snakes thought to have been deliberately frozen to death were found dumped in a graveyard bin.

Horrified Littlehampton Cemetery workers found two black bags containing four boa constrictors on Wednesday.

An Arun District Council spokeswoman said it is believed the snakes had been frozen to death and dumped.

Two were albino, one was black and one red.

Each measured between 1.5 and two metres long, and weighed five or six kilograms.

“We are shocked by this horrendous act,” a spokeswoman said.

“If you have any information which would help investigations please contact cemeteries@arun.gov.uk.”
