More clues to 'snake death'
May 22 2004


American detectives have released more information surrounding the bizarre death of a Scotsman found half-a-mile from a box of deadly snakes.

Detectives say Garrick Wales ordered the snakes over the internet from a "reptile dealership" in Florida before police found his body in a rented car near a local airport,

Detective Eric Knowles, of the Little Rock Police Department, who is investigating the death, said that the snakes were transported from Florida to Little Rock National Airport at Mr Wales's request.

He understood Mr Wales, 48, had also taken delivery of other snakes on previous trips to the United States.

Detective Knowles said police still knew little about why Mr Wales ordered the snakes, what he had intended to do with them or where the other snakes were.

"Whether he had a snake fetish, we just simply don't know," he said.

Little Rock police found Mr Wales, from Kilmacolm, Strathclyde, dead in his car on May 13. He was pale and surrounded by vomit.

A local electrician discovered a wooden box containing four deadly African snakes near a motorway half a mile away the following day.

The box contained a 14in twig snake, a 6ft green mamba, a 4ft black mamba and a 5ft forest cobra. All four could be deadly and the box was said to be marked with warnings of its contents.

It will not be known if Mr Wales died from snake bites until reports came back from post-mortem and toxicology tests.
