56-year-old Gaytrie Chanderpaul, of D?Abadie, died an hour after she was attacked by her pet Rottweiler at her home on Tuesday (19 January 2021) night.
A 56-year-old mother of two was mauled to death by her pet Rottweiler at her D’Abadie home on Tuesday night.
Gaytrie Chanderpaul was said to be giving her dog a treat at her Andrew Lane home when the animal attacked.
Guardian Media visited the family home but her daughter, Mandy, declined to speak.
A male relative said Chanderpaul’s two children were traumatised by the incident and preferred not to speak. Several small breed dogs were seen tied to trees in the family’s yard but there was no sign of the Rottweiler. The relative said police who visited the scene on Tuesday night said they would return on Wednesday for the dog but up until 5 pm, it was still at the family’s home.

Rowdy Aucklanders have sparked nearly 300,000 noise complaints in just five years, and ratepayers have forked out millions of dollars to keep the peace. But figures released to the Herald show it s not just noisy humans making a racket - tens of thousands of complaints were logged about barking dogs.
The council has served more than 37,000 Excessive Noise Direction (END) notices since 2016. They require residents to reduce noise to a reasonable level immediately and keep it there for 72 hours.
Another breach within three days can be punished with a $500 fine or police being called to seize noise-making equipment .
“The attack was so frenzied the victim discovered one goat s windpipe sitting separated from his body,” the summary says. The victim secured one of the dogs and police secured the other, before they were taken to the city pound. The city council sought the destruction of the dogs, and Judge John Brandts-Giesen agreed when sentencing Philp in Invercargill District Court judge on Thursday. Though Ocean, the brindle collie was the ring leader, Elly, the staffordshire bull terrier, was “part of the action”, he said. An emotional Philp asked the judge if she could “be there” when her dogs were destroyed.
