The Germiston City News recently reported on the attack and death of a 45-year-old Laerskool Oosterkruin groundskeeper.<\/p>\n

The man was viciously attacked and killed by three pitbulls, while standing on the pavement in Wert Road.<\/p>

The man and one of the three pitbulls died on scene while the other two pitbulls, were seized by the Germiston SPCA.<\/p>\n

The GCN has since received comment from the Germiston SPCA, on what has happened to the remaining pitbulls.<\/p>

Yvette Berridge manager of the Germiston SPCA explained, “In the afternoon of Saturday, December 27, we responded to the pitbull attack.<\/p>\n

“We admitted one male and one female, as well as the body of another female that had reportedly been shot by an off-duty police officer.<\/p>\n

“Together with an inspector from the National Council of SPCAs, we met with the owners of all three pitbulls on Monday, December 29.<\/p>\n

“At the end of our discussion with them, they agreed that it was in the dogs best interest, to have them humanely put to sleep.<\/p>\n

“This was done the same day, December 29, with the owners present.”<\/p>\n

The Primrose police continue to investigate a case of culpable homicide.<\/p>\n

The GCN will release more details as they become available.<\/p>\n
