US EditionTwo-year-old boy dies in pit bull attack as British mum arrested
The family had temporarily cared for a stray pit bull before the toddler slipped into its chained area and was fatally mauled, leading to manslaughter charges against the parents.
- A two-year-old boy in Zakynthos was mauled to death by a pit bull just ten days after celebrating his second birthday.
- Having been taken in as a stray two months earlier, the pit bull was chained in the room when the toddler slipped away from his parents' attention and entered, authorities say.
- Bitten in the face and head, the child was rushed to the General Hospital of Zakynthos, where doctors and medical staff could not save him from fatal injuries inflicted by the pit bull.
- Greek police arrested the parents and charged them with manslaughter, while Metro contacted the UK Foreign Office because one parent is a British mother.
- The breed, which originates in England and was bred for fighting, faces bans in Denmark, Norway and Cyprus, and this attack follows a U.S. incident involving seven pitbulls on Wednesday.
