Attacked in a park

Italy: Three Rottweilers bite jogger to death

Dramatic incident on Sunday morning near Rome: a jogger was attacked by three dogs. All help came too late for the 390-year-old.

The man was jogging in a park in the small Italian town of Manziana when he was attacked by three Rottweilers. The dogs bit into the 39-year-old. 

Passer-by found disfigured body
His disfigured body was discovered by a passer-by in the morning. All help came too late. According to initial investigations, the dogs had escaped from a house nearby without the owners noticing.

Charges of manslaughter possible
After the victim was discovered, the Rottweilers were anaesthetized, captured and taken to a kennel. It is now up to the authorities to decide what to do with them. At the very least, their owner will be charged with failing to exercise due care. According to a report by the Italian news agency ANSA, a charge of manslaughter is also possible.
