I have never heard of intentional cannibalism with boa constrictors, only accidental occurrences. However, for comparison sake, Rivas has documented several cases in the wild on cannibalism of male green anacondas by large female greens. These were intentional cases of cannibalism and not accidental. Whether this ever occurs in wild populations of boa constrictors appears to be unknown at this time, as no cases have been documented that I am aware of.
