An 86-year-old pensioner, Enrica Bensi , died this morning in Corana, in the Pavia area , after being attacked by her neighbour's pitbull .
The episode occurred this morning at 10.30 in the Ghiaie area: the intervention of the 118 operators was useless, they were unable to save the old woman, the carabinieri of the Voghera company and the technicians of Ats Pavia were also on site and started an investigation into the incident.
The pensioner was walking down the street when the father of the dog's owner opened the gate, he was entering to go and greet his son and grandchildren. But the pit bull surprised him and came out running: he immediately pushed the old woman to the ground, and then bit her ferociously on the leg and neck, causing her to lose a lot of blood.
The father of the dog's owner tried in every way, with his bare hands, to stop him, but by then it was too late. When the 118 operators arrived on site, the 86-year-old was dead.
The investigation by the Pavia Prosecutor's Office will now have to establish whether responsibility can be found on the part of the owner of the animal. The dog was locked up in a room, it is up to the Ats Pavia technicians to decide his fate .
