Toulouse. Man who beat his dog with an ax found dead
The man, who had beaten his dog with an ax last Saturday, in a wood in Toulouse, before leaving her for dead, was found dead at his home on Wednesday, reveals La Dépêche du Midi.
It was the gendarmes who came to arrest him who made the macabre discovery.
Summoned by the military after the fact, the individual did not respond to this summons. It is for this reason that the police came to his home.
The suspect, 46 years old, psychologically fragile, had been arrested after the fact and had been taken to the psychiatric emergency room. Then, he was able to return to his home where, according to the first elements of the investigation, he killed himself.
The animal, meanwhile, had managed to take refuge in a barn despite its serious injuries to the skull and muzzle. He had been taken to a veterinary clinic where he could be carried out.
The animal defense association “Les 4 pattounes” had launched a kitty to save and ensure the care of the dog “Liam”.
She indicates in a Facebook post that the dog was taken in by a foster family where she is recovering.
