A woman who was jogging near Lacul Morii in Bucharest was killed, this morning, by a pack of dogs. The victim was also allegedly attacked by dogs, also on the shore of Morii Lake, in April of last year.
The policemen of the General Directorate of Police of the Municipality of Bucharest attended the scene following a 112 call, regarding the fact that a person had been bitten by dogs.
“Today, January 21, 2023, the police officers of the General Directorate of Police of the Municipality of Bucharest – Police Section 20 were alerted, via 112, regarding the fact that a person who was running in the area of a lake, in Sector 6, had been bitten by dogs .
The police went to the scene and identified the victim, and a medical team confirmed the death.
In order to establish the causes and conditions in which the death occurred, the investigations were taken over by the Prosecutor’s Office attached to the Bucharest Court and the Homicide Service.
The lifeless body is to be transported to the INML in order to carry out the necropsy”, the Capital Police sent in a statement.
“The woman was found by the police in the field, 270 meters away from the nearest house and 300 meters away from the nearest point to the Lacul Morii dike – the undeveloped area, on the border with Chiajna Commune.
The land belonged to CAP, and the appropriations were made by the Chiajna authorities. It is currently owned by three people.
The sector town halls have no responsibilities on the part of euthanasia, the only institution authorized to monitor and collect the Maidan dogs from the administrative-territorial radius of Bucharest is the Authority for the Supervision and Protection of Animals (ASPA), subordinate to the General Town Hall.
Even so, the Local Police of Sector 6 supports ASPA. They have weekly actions together. Furthermore, last year the teams were accompanied by the local police in the Gilulesti Sârbi area, as part of the animal sterilization awareness campaign.
Important! The District 6 Local Police did not receive reports regarding the existence of stray dogs in the area where the tragedy occurred. However, almost daily the local police request the intervention of the ASPA to capture stray dogs from other areas, especially those on the border with neighboring communes.
Last year, 53 notifications were sent, and from the beginning of 2023 another 36″, stated the City Hall of Sector 6.
