Pit Bull Mauls 8-Year-Old To Death

A pit bull killed an eight-year-old boy by mauling him to death at his home in Vista Park, close to Bloemfontein.

On Saturday, the dog is reported to have left the yard and leaped the fence into the neighboring home.

According to Mahlomola Kareli of the police, the dog mauled the boy severely on his neck and chest when he was playing by himself.

The dog has since been killed.

“Police rushed to the scene and found the emergency personnel already at the scene attending to the severely injured child. The aggressive dog covered in blood was spotted nearby and put down by the SAPS members. The eight-year-old boy lying next to the garage door in his parents’ yard was certified dead at the scene.”

This is the breed’s most recent kid murder in recent months.

In September, a 10-year-old was mauled to death by the family’s two pit bulls at his home in the Eastern Cape.
