  • Castilla y León The mayor of Roales links the fatal attack of five dogs on a 27-year-old woman in Zamora with the presence of wolves

  • Events The owner of the dogs that killed a young woman in Zamora may be accused of reckless homicide: "They were loose"

The

Court of First Instance and Instruction number 4 of Zamora has ordered the "immediate sacrifice" of the mastiff and bulldog dogs that fatally attacked a young woman from

Roales del Pan

on a road last October

, in the city's alfoz. from Zamora.

The court has argued the non-existence of any expert report that absolutely rules out that, if they are released again, they cannot commit a similar act again, "which proves their enormous danger," according to the order reported this Friday by the

Superior Court of Justice of Castilla y León

.

The resolution that orders the sacrifice also decrees the provisional imprisonment, communicated and without bail, of the shepherd of La Hiniesta to whom the dogs that killed the young

Arancha Corcero

belonged , the afternoon of last October 23, when she was out for a walk.

After evaluating the content of the report, the statements of the witnesses, the statement of the accused himself, the autopsy and other procedures carried out since the opening of the judicial proceedings, the judge has understood that the facts have the characteristics of a crime of homicide punishable by sentences of more than two years in prison.

Another argument put forward by the judge for entering prison is to avoid "criminal repetition", since the shepherd has an administrative record for leaving "such dangerous dogs" loose and uncontrolled on more occasions, so "nothing prevents to commit similar acts again, since he continues to have the same profession," the court argued.

He also recalled that the dogs did not have insurance or control elements such as muzzles when they attacked the young woman who was killed on a busy public road, without any cause or provocation for it and without the shepherd being present or in the vicinity. , at a distance that would allow the dogs to be controlled in the event of any mishap.
