A resident of Neuvy-Sautour wakes up on Thursday, June 22, 2023, and notices that her two dogs have escaped from her yard. Surely afraid of the thunderstorms that arose during the night. Icaunaise examines the village and then on. She crosses the border to Icaunaise and finds herself in Aube, in Ervy-le-Châtel, a village 10 km from Neuvy-Sautour, where she meets the gendarmes. The soldiers tell him that his dogs were killed earlier in the morning, shortly after 8, of a hunter.
The suspect, who is a resident of the town, reportedly told the gendarmes that three of his goats had been attacked by the two dogs. Two would even have died, reports the regional daily Eastern lightning. The man allegedly grabbed his gun and fired as he wanted to protect his last beast. He would also have explained that he first believed in wolves. It was actually Nino, a 7-year-old Korthals, and Tylia, an eight-month-old German Shepherd. The two dogs from Icaunaise were shot and returned to their owner during the day.
“No Blood in the Mouth”
A version that the owner of the dogs and her son do not believe. “The dogs never came near his goats. He killed them on purpose,” said the son, who did what was necessary to necropsy his animals. A veterinarian’s report confirms that the animals’ deaths were indeed caused by a firearm. And the specialist clarifies “that none of the dogs have traces of blood in their mouths, no animal hair was found in their mouths or the dog’s claws”.
A report that, according to the dogs’ masters, would confirm the thesis of a “free” shot. In the afternoon after the macabre find, the owner lodged a complaint about the hunter, with whom we were unable to get in touch. Still according to our colleagues from east lightning “Aube’s gendarmerie group emphasizes that all the main characters have already been heard. An investigation has been opened and the author of the shots will be summoned to court before the judge”.
