The owner of a python which killed two young boys in Canada is to be charged over their deaths, his lawyer has said.
Jean-Claude Savoie is facing two charges of criminal negligence causing death.
Four-year-old Noah Barthe and his six-year-old brother Connor were found dead on 5 August 2013 after the African rock python escaped from its enclosure in an exotic pet store owned by Mr Savoie in Campbellton, New Brunswick.
According to police, the 45kg (100lb) snake escaped through a vent and slithered through a ventilation pipe.
Its weight caused the pipe to collapse and it fell into the living room where the boys were staying for a sleepover with Mr Savoie's son.
Post-mortem results showed they died from asphyxiation.
Although African rock pythons are dangerous and can kill large prey, they do not usually attack humans.
Nevertheless ownership of African rock pythons without a permit has been banned in New Brunswick since 1992.
Permits are only given to accredited zoos.
Mr Savoie has been released from custody following his arrest on Thursday.
He will appear in court to faces the charges on 27 April.
