Couple of hours before I arrived at my house. Family friends had killed this snake at my workshop??

Curious to what type of snake?

im no expert but it looks like a king cobra to me

Asiatic rat snake ?

(ptyas mucosa)

another asinine picture of a dead snake.

well done family members

and how may i ask are we to identify it when it is missing its head?

Despite not being able to look at the head I'd say Keelback.

Not dangerous.

However, the striped pattern makes me think it could actually be a King Cobra.

Very dangerous.

And beautiful.

Unfortunately dead.

Your snake is a Ptyas mucosus (Common Rat Snake), harmless.

Sad when people kill these snakes out of ignorance. Hope it comes back to haunt you.

As said in OP, the deed was done before I arrived.

"Nae me yur Awnur"

My GF and friends wife were told "It went for one of the wife's, who were doing washing nearby.

That night the GF, mates wife and her mother where all burning joss sticks.

Seemingly in the past a snake lived underground below my home.
