Grandpa Mauled to Death by German Shepherds In Nyeri (Photos)

A 75 year old man in Nyeri County has been mauled to death by vicious trained German shepherd dogs.

The old man identified as Francis Mathenge was accompanying his cousin and relatives visiting his cousin who had just undergone surgery. Along the way near his cousin’s house he was left behind and entered the wrong compound mistakenly. Unfortunately, the owner of the compound had left his German shepherds dogs unchained to protect the home.

The old man was viciously attacked by the dogs tearing his clothes and fatally biting his neck repeatedly. His relatives, on noticing that he had taken long to arrive, got out and heard the man’s cries and the ferocious dogs barking. They came into the compound and with the help of other neighbors took almost half an hour to restrain the dogs and free the old man.

By now the old man had passed out. He was taken to Nyeri County Referral Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. Here are some of the photos of the unfortunate incident.
