A 27-year-old Nigerian woman, identified as Patricia Masithela has been mauled to death by a pack of starving dogs in Latina, Italy.
Masithela, had on Monday paid a male acquaintance at his abandoned villa a visit when the dogs pounced on her, killing her at an instance.
According to Mirror UK, the screams of the deceased who recently moved to Lazio from Nigeria, filled the night, alerting neighbours to help with the savage attack.
Unfortunately, before she was discovered, the dogs had left deep wounds across her body, as she was seen lying in a pool of blood with deep wounds across her body after the attack.
The state police, in a bid to intervene, shot two of the dogs, which allowed emergency responders to access the scene while the rest of the pack fled after the gunfire.
Patricia was then rushed to Santa Maria Goretti Hospital, where she succumbed to her severe bite wounds and excessive blood loss.
The mother to a five-year-old daughter, has reportedly left her family and friends in unimaginable grief.
It was gathered that investigations into the incident are ongoing as local authorities work to determine how the reportedly starving dogs came to be in the area.
