Fatal bite attack
Dog owner must pay fine instead of prison sentence
The next bombshell in the case of the fatal bite attack in Naarn: after the dog owner had spoken out twice via Facebook in the last few days, it has now been announced that the woman convicted of gross negligence manslaughter will not have to go to prison. Her prison sentence has been commuted to a fine.
15 months in prison, five of which were suspended. That was the judge's verdict in March of this year for the 38-year-old dog owner whose three American Staffordshire terriers attacked and mauled a jogger in Naarn in October 2023.
Fine instead of prison
As Walter Eichinger from the Linz Regional Court has now confirmed, the convicted woman did not have to go to prison. Her five-month prison sentence was commuted to a fine of 1800 euros. The amount of the fine corresponds to 300 daily rates, which were set at six euros each due to the financial situation of the convicted person.
Claims paid
The reason for the retrospective mitigation of the sentence is said to be that the compensation claims have been paid to the surviving dependants. "The husband and son of the jogger who was killed were awarded 40,000 euros in bereavement compensation, and this money has already been paid," says Eichinger. That is why the dog owner's lawyer had also applied for a retrospective mitigation of the sentence.
Jogger mauled to death by dogs
The fatal dog attack on a jogger (60) in Naarn shocked the whole country last October. On October 2 of last year, her three American Staffordshire terriers literally mauled a jogger. All help came too late for the victim.
