On Monday afternoon, a tragic event took place in Namibia Square in Bloemfontein, which resulted in the death of a woman who was 28 years old.
As a result of the vicious attack that was carried out by four pit bulls, the victim sustained severe damage to her lower body.
The woman was found laying on the ground, apparently having passed away as a result of her injuries, when the police arrived at the scene.
The personnel from Emergency Health Services determined that she had passed away at the spot.
The cops attempted to call for rescue, but it was too late
During a turn of events that was quite distressing, the police were forced to put down three of the dogs, while the local SPCA was able to rescue the fourth dog and its puppies and bring them to a safe place.
As a result of the occurrence, shock waves have been sent across the neighborhood, and many people have called for improved awareness and accountability among those who own dogs.
Cases of criminal homicide being investigated by the police
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the assault is still ongoing, and the police have opened a case of culpable homicide in connection with the incident.
The tragedy serves as a jarring reminder of the significance of public safety and the control of animals.
