Visakhapatnam: Stray dogs maul, kill 15-yr-old disabled girl

A 15-year-old mentally-challenged girl died after being attacked by some stray dogs. The incident occurred at Venkojipalem of Visakhapatnam on Monday. Both the parents went out to work in the fields and the hapless girl was all alone at home.

The victim, identified as Marry, was mentally disabled and couldn't walk. Four stray dogs have mauled and bit her by dragging from her bed. Her throat was also bitten and she died on the spot. 

The neighbors who noticed the blood coming from the house informed her parents.

Her inconsolable mother said "She cannot scream for help as she's mentally disabled. She's like a child. We left home at 7 am and by the time we come back my daughter is dead."

The villagers blamed the Greater Vizag Municipal Corporation for its failure to control the stray dog menace.
