GEORGE TOWN: Yin and Kang – the two dogs of the same mixed breed as the two killer canines that mauled an Irish tourist to death on Jan 9 – will be returned to their owners by tomorrow.
A spokesman for Penang Municipal Council’s legal department said the killer canines – Li and Ning – would be put to sleep by tomorrow.
“We have sent a letter to the state Veterinary Department. It will be done in the presence of all relevant parties as per consent judgment,” she said.
It was reported yesterday that the dog owners, Joseph Teoh Boon Aun, 42, and his wife Teoh Bee Eng, 56, had reached an agreement with the council in a consent judgment at the High Court to put down the killer canines and release the other two into the owners’ care with the assurance they would be confined to a secured area, away from the public.
On Jan 9, the two dogs were involved in the death of Maurice Sullivan, 51, who was visiting the couple’s organic farm in Teluk Bahang here.
It was reported that he died of severe haemorrhage with multiple bites on his limbs, head and neck.
Teoh said Li and Ning would be buried at his organic farm.
Teoh said justice had been done following the court’s latest decision.
