A tragic detail is added to the brutal death of the 50-year-old woman from Neochorouda, Thessaloniki, on Sunday when she was mauled by three of her neighbor’s sheepdogs.

According to the head of the village, Christos Saramourtis, who spoke to ANT1, the gardener who was on the property of the unfortunate woman for agricultural work is deaf and dumb, as a result of which he did not notice the attack that the 50-year-old received from the sheepdogs.

According to ANT1, the family’s two children were also at home, who also called the ambulance.

The young man, as it was pointed out, was pruning trees of the estate and probably left the front door open, as a result of which the wild dogs entered.

Regarding the tragic incident, the village community leader said he heard that the owner of the dogs claimed that the animals dug the soil under the wire fence and thus managed to get out of his property.

When asked if there had been a complaint about the dogs in question before, he informed that no request has been made to the community, however he described an incident when a technical crew changed a public lighting bulb. “The municipal crews came to change it. So when we were changing the bulb with the crane and I in my car, I was scared. Three dogs were barking at me, of course I thought they were guards and they do that because I went to their place. But he was inside the space.”

“She was a pioneer, a pioneer in associations, in giving, I have no words for this woman who only helped, and not only our municipality,” said Mr. Saramurtis.

The dogs are now kept under the care of the competent Regional Veterinary Service.
