Wild dogs kill 4 people in the past two weeks in a hilltop park on the outskirts of Mexico City, leaving the bodies dismembered, according to reports.
The wild dogs brutally mauled two teenagers, a 1-year-old boy and an adult woman, who was dismembered. According to a MyFox8 news, neighbors in the area were first to discover the gruesome scene.
Two of the victims of these attacks were a 26-year-old woman, Shunashi Mendoza, and a 1-year-old boy, whose bodies were found on December 29. Both the woman and the infant died as a result of their losing too much blood after having been bitten.
The death of the other two victims, a teenage girl, Alejandra Ruiz, and her boyfriend, Samuel Martinez, was also caused by massive bleeding.
The 15-year-old girl had called her sister in the midst of the attack, pleading, "Several dogs are attacking us, help me!" The sister thought the girl was joking and says she doubts her sister was attacked by dogs.
"What kind of dog can tear the skin from your whole arm and leave just bone and if it was an attack dog why didn't it attack her neck? What's most shocking is that one of her breasts was mutilated," Alejandra's sister later told members of the press.
At this time, authorities believe wild dogs killed the four victims and have not released information to the contrary. However, they intend to test the dogs for traces of human blood and inspect the contents of their bowels for body parts.
Meanwhile, Antemio Maya, president of the Street Dog Protection association in Mexico City, also doubts that dogs could have killed the people found in the park.
"It's not the behaviour of street dogs to kill humans," Maya said.
