- Her screams of pain and yelp of agony pierced the silent night and alerted neighbours to the savage attack, which happened on Monday night.
One Patricia Masithela, a Nigerian woman, has died after she was viciously attacked by a pack of marauding hungry dogs in Latina, Italy.
The deceased was mauled to death by the menacing dogs while visiting a male acquaintance at his abandoned villa in the Lazio region.
Her screams of pain and yelp of agony pierced the silent night and alerted neighbours to the savage attack, which happened on Monday night.
Patricia, who had recently moved to Lazio from Nigeria, reportedly visited the house unaware that her friend was not at home.
She was discovered severely injured, lying in a pool of blood with deep wounds across her body after the attack.
The police, however, intervened, “shooting two of the dogs to allow emergency responders to access the scene, while the rest of the pack fled after the gunfire.”
Emergency medics provided immediate treatment and rushed Patricia to Santa Maria Goretti Hospital, but despite their efforts, she succumbed to her severe injuries and blood loss.
She succumbed to severe bite wounds and excessive blood loss, despite their efforts to save her.
27-year-old Patricia, a doting mother to a five-year-old daughter, has left her family and friends in unimaginable grief, Mirror UK reports.
It was gathered that investigations into the incident are ongoing as local authorities work to determine how the reportedly starving dogs came to be in the area.
The incident has, however, elicited discourse about stray animals and public safety, with residents calling for stricter measures to prevent such devastating incidents
