A 62-year-old Italian woman died
after being attacked by her dog near Trapani in Sicily Friday
night, local sources said Saturday.
The woman, Erina Licari, died Friday evening in Petrosino, due
to the critical injuries sustained after being attacked by the
family pet, a large mongrel.
She was found by her husband with the dog tied up next to her,
its snout covered in her blood.
He called an ambulance but the crew could do nothing for her.
The victim was in front of her home near the municipal stadium,
in the area between via Trapani and viale Mediterraneo.
The dog has been taken to a local pound.
