Pit bull attacks, killing 67-year-old woman cycling by

A brutal pitbull named “Poy Kai” has mauled a 67-year-old woman, resulting in her tragic death. The incident occurred on September 23, when the victim was cycling near her home and the dog escaped its enclosure to attack. The woman suffered severe injuries to her torso and right leg. The dog’s owner, a relative of the victim, revealed that the pitbull had shown aggressive behavior in recent months, prompting a request for assistance from animal control.

The attack took place at approximately 3:30 PM, prompting a swift response from local authorities in Pathum Thani. The woman’s body was discovered in a nearby area, with visible bite marks and injuries consistent with a vicious dog attack. The pitbull, which had been kept at the owner’s home, had previously exhibited aggressive tendencies, including biting another relative.

The victim, identified as Ms. Daeng Thamthanta, was struck while she was cycling to purchase groceries. Her son, Mr. Tawee Maakphong, reported that he arrived at the scene after hearing a call for help from his aunt, only to find his mother critically injured. Attempts to rush her to a nearby shop for assistance were unsuccessful, as she had already succumbed to her injuries.

The dog’s owner expressed her distress, stating that she could no longer manage the aggressive behavior of the pitbull and called for help from local authorities to take over its care. The investigation is ongoing, with law enforcement collecting evidence and interviewing the dog’s owner regarding potential charges.
