A 39-year-old woman from Moriema area in Malindi died Monday morning after she was attacked by her employer’s dog as she went about her house chores.
Roselyn Nafuna had opened the door leading to the porch, when she was attacked by the dog, a South African Boerboel famed for its well developed muscles and a strong bone structure.
A night guard at the home on hearing the woman’s distress call as she was being mauled by the beast, rushed to the scene and restrained the dog, before helping Nafuna who was lying on the floor.
According to the guard, the deceased said that she felt fine and would go back to the house by herself only for the day guard to find her lifeless body sprawled on the floor.
The body had multiple wounds occasioned by the dog’s bites and was moved to the Star hospital mortuary, awaiting post mortem.
