A dog bit a baby to death in Emmeloord, the Netherlands, on Thursday. This has emerged from research and an autopsy on the body of the child, the police said today. The dog was seized on Thursday. No one has been arrested yet.
The police were called to the Antonius Hospital in Emmeloord on Thursday morning. There was the baby at that time. Whether the child was still alive at the time and who brought the baby to the hospital, the police do not want to say. The home of the baby’s parents was searched on Thursday. The dog that was present in the house was also seized. The animal is still alive, according to police.
Because there was uncertainty about the cause of death of the child, the police and the Public Prosecution Service decided that an autopsy would be performed over the weekend. It was determined that the child had been bitten to death. The investigation is continuing, a police spokeswoman said.
