27-year-old Nigerian woman mauled to d3ath by dogs in her friend’s garden in Italy
A devastating incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, January 13, 2025, in Latina, south of Rome, where a 27-year-old Nigerian-Italian woman, Patricia Masithela, was fatally mauled by a pack of four or five dogs in the garden of a friend’s house.
Shockingly, this was not the first time the same pack of dogs had attacked someone. Just last week, the dogs had attacked another woman and the owner of the house where Patricia was visiting. This raises serious concerns about the safety of the community and the effectiveness of animal control measures in the area.
Neighbors were alerted to the attack by Patricia’s desperate screams and quickly called the police. Responding officers from the Latina police station arrived at the scene around 3 am and attempted to scare the dogs away by firing a gunshot. Unfortunately, the dogs were too aggressive, and one of them was killed in the process, while another was injured. The remaining dogs fled the scene.
Despite the efforts of the emergency responders, Patricia suffered severe injuries and was transported to the local Santa Maria Goretti hospital. Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries a few hours later. The incident is currently under investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the attack and establish responsibilities.
The community is in shock and mourning the loss of Patricia, who was described as a vibrant and young woman with her whole life ahead of her. The incident has raised concerns about public safety and the need for effective animal control measures to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
As the investigation continues, there are growing calls for improved animal control measures in the area. The community is demanding answers and action to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible pet ownership and the need for effective measures to prevent dog attacks.
