North West man mauled to death by dogs
Police are investigating the death of a 60-year-old man from Lichtenburg in North West after he was mauled by his three dogs.
Provincial police spokesperson Sam Tselanyane says the 60-year-old man was killed on Saturday afternoon.
"The deceased wife was busy on the other side of their house when she heard the dogs barking. She didn’t bother to go and check what was wrong as their house is situated on a busy street and the dogs are frequently barking at pedestrians and vehicles passing by.”
She subsequently went inside the house looking for her husband, only to find him lying motionless in the garden.
It is believed that her husband was bitten by their dogs, two staffie/pitbull crossings and one unknown breed.
"Police and Emergency Medical Rescue Services were called and the man was certified dead at the scene. The SPCA were also called and the three dogs were removed from the premises,” adds Tselanyane.
