Re: Court upholds dog owner's acquittal in Petruna case
More from In-Cyprus:
The Supreme Court decided that the owner of a Rottweiler dog, which according to the Public Prosecutor caused the death of 46-year-old Petrouna Milkova on 22 February 2018, is not guilty.
Milkova died of injuries believed to have been caused by two dogs belonging to the defendant. The injuries were initially attributed to an agricultural accident. But later post-mortems determined that she had died from dog bites.
During the trial at the Criminal Court, the defendant was found not guilty due to doubts about the real facts. The Prosecution filed an appeal against the verdict but the Supreme Court upheld the judgement delivered at first instance, since it was not proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the dog of the defendant was the one that caused Milkova’s death.

Surely the DNA from the dogs would have been all over the body?
This needs an independent enquiry. Why were there FIVE autopsies for a start.

Re: Court upholds dog owner's acquittal in Petruna case
Wonder if there are any other Rottwieiler dogs kept in that area, or were the dogs involved the only ones? Justice in this case seems to have been skewed to protect the local man.Probably there were no witnesses to the attack. But the whole thing stinks.
