A pregnant woman mauled to death by dogs while walking in woods in northern France may have been attacked by her own pet, reports The Guardian.
The body of Elisa Pilarski, 29, was found covered in bites in a forest near Retz, 55 miles (89 km) north-east of Paris, last November.
A postmortem concluded that Pilarski, who was six months pregnant, bled to death after receiving bites to her arms, legs and head.
The case has caused anguish and controversy in France, with a pack of dogs out with a local hunt initially blamed for the attack. Investigators took DNA and saliva samples from 67 dogs: five belonging to Pilarski and her partner, Christophe Ellul, and 62 from the local Rallye de la Passion hunt.
