The dogs, believed to be pitbull crosses attacked their owner on Saturday afternoon.
“It is alleged that on the said day during the load shedding, the deceased wife was busy on the other side of their house when she heard the dogs barking.

He said after the electricity was restored, the wife allegedly went inside the house looking for her husband, but could not find him.
“Upon continuing with the search, the woman saw her husband lying motionless outside in the garden, she then quickly went outside only to find that her husband was bitten by their dogs, two staffie/pitbull crossings, and one unknown breed dog.
“Police and Emergency Medical Rescue Services were called and the man was certified dead at the scene. The SPCA were also called and the three dogs were removed from the premises.”
An inquest docket has been opened and the investigation into the matter continues.
