A 24-year-old German tourist was also seriously injured while walking on the beach near the same town. Her face was torn. Both were attacked by a pack of stray dogs belonging to a town resident who kept dozens of them in filthy conditions with no food.
The boy was killed while playing in a field. A 9-year-old boy was also injured at the same time. Around 40 dogs have been captured. Reports of attacks by the remaining dogs continue. Two dogs were killed when they attacked a police patrol.
There have been strong condemnations around Italy, especially since the authorities were the ones who gave the resident the dogs in the first place. It was believed he could adequately care for them. Strays are common in Sicily
