Man reports snake bite then vanishes
Nathan Scattini, 41, was walking in bushland in the Kelmscott area, about 23km southeast of Perth, when he was bitten by a snake on Sunday, according to police.
Mr Scattini called St John Ambulance for assistance at 6.40pm but didn’t know his location.
A police search was launched “in the vicinity of Bob Blackburne Reserve and John Dunn Memorial Park in the Seville Grove and Kelmscott” and went late into Monday. The police helicopter, which is fitted with a heat-seeking infra-red camera, was used to scour bush but failed to find any trace of Mr Scattini and he has still not been found.
“Resources including the Police air wing and mounted section have been utilised overnight and into today, along with police officers conducting ground searches,” a police statement issued yesterday read.
