Tragic death in Saraburi: Man killed by his own dog
A tragic incident yesterday in Saraburi‘s Kaeng Khoi resulted in the death of an 84 year old man following an attack by his dog.
The incident occurred yesterday, January 8, at the man’s residence, a wooden house where rescue volunteers discovered bloodstains and scattered belongings beneath the structure.
The victim, identified as Khanthi, was found near the bathroom under the house, with severe bite wounds to his arms and body.
Notably, his right arm and wrist were missing. The dog, a black Thai-Pitbull mix named Black, was found chained nearby, barking aggressively.
Prayong, the victim’s 52 year old son, explained that the dog had been raised by his father since it was a puppy and was deeply cherished.
Prayong suggested that the attack might have been triggered by the dog’s stress from being chained for an extended period, reported The Pattaya News.
Emergency services believe the man had been dead for over a day. The missing arm raised concerns, with speculation that the dog may have consumed or discarded it.
The body has been sent for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
In related news, a pet dog mistook a bomb for a toy, brought it back to her family home in the Isaan province of Udon Thani, and gave it to a four year old boy. Fortunately, the boy showed it to his father before it could explode and cause a tragedy.
Officers from Non Sung Police Station were called to investigate the bomb at a house in the Non Sung sub-district, Mueang district, Udon Thani, on January 2. The two-storey house belonged to 34 year old Sergeant Major First Class Jittakorn Talaengjit.
Jittakorn led police officers to the bomb in his house. For safety, he placed it in a cardboard box filled with dry grass, which he surrounded with car tyres. The device was roughly the size of a tennis ball.
