Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
LAMAHA SPRINGS, Guyana--Joan Carter (51) died Tuesday, August 5, after she was viciously attacked by two pit bulls at her Lamaha Springs home.
The woman's brother-in-law Leslie Thomside told iNews he found her dead on her knees at the door of the apartment. Thomside is now considering "putting the dogs down" even though they pose no threat to him or his wife [Carter's sister – Ed.] and serve as a form of security for them.
Thomside explained that his sister-in-law would be in the dogs' company whenever he or his wife is at home. However, Carter was home alone when the incident occurred.
Carter was described to be somewhat mentally unstable and she would stay in her apartment most of the times, but Tuesday she apparently ventured outside and was sweeping the yard when she was attacked.
The dead woman's sister Mariea Sue said from all appearances, Carter had tried to make it back into the house, but the dogs got to her first.
"She got two deep gash over the head and the blood just oozing out ... when he [Thomside – Ed.] came at the gate, he found the dogs at the gate with the mouth full of blood and he wanted to know if another dog was in the yard and they were fighting so he just venture at the back to just look around and then he saw her on she knees, like she was just trying to grab the door to go back in and that's how he find she. All the blood stains on the wall like she was trying to go back in the house," Sue explained.
Carter's only child Faith Austin was in a state of shock at the news and rushed to the scene, upon receiving the news. The tearful daughter said her mother was a quiet and helpful person who had withdrawn much from the world a couple years ago. "It's a very tragic situation and the thought of it, it's really sad for me right now, I really cannot say," she said. ~ iNews Guyana ~
