Brutal murder: three police dogs found dead in patrol car

They helped to catch and track criminals, discovered drugs, but in spite of all the special training, they could not be armed against human evil. An unknown perpetrator cruelly poisoned three police dogs, who died an agonising death.

According to Blikk, their owner, the warrant officer Erika, was shocked to find the lifeless bodies of her faithful companions in her car in the parking lot of the Mohács police station. Émon, Locky, and Cinkos belonged to the Pécs Police Headquarters. They died in terrible torment, and there is no explanation for such cruelty. They received the K-9 training, the highest level possible, which means that only a few other dogs could do what they were able to.

The training of police dogs starts when they are a pup; they need to have an excellent nervous system and endurance, and in the case of search dogs, an exceptional sense of smell is also a requirement. This is exactly what Émon, Locky, and Cinkos were like: they learned discipline and followed the command of their master without hesitation.

The death of such police dogs is a huge loss, both financially, as they were worth HUF 6 million (~ €16,700), and emotionally, as apart from always being ready to go on a mission, they were family members.

According to the information of Blikk, investigators are still guessing about the motive and perpetrator of the dog murder. It makes their work more difficult that the parking lot was not observed by CCTV, and despite the autopsy, several forensic experts are still guessing regarding the exact poison used to kill the dogs. It is believed that perhaps some kind of pesticide caused their deaths.

Recently, the number of cruel criminal acts seems to be on the rise; a man broke the bones of a child to stop him from crying, and in another case, a man stabbed a police officer because of drugs.

Blikk’s informant said that the warrant officer had something to tend to in the office, so she left Émon, Locky, and Cinkos in their locked boxes in her car in the police parking lot. In order for them to have fresh air, she left the trunk and one of the other doors open.

As the dogs were also trained to refuse food from strangers, they could only be poisoned by someone they knew very well.

When the policewoman finished at the office and headed for the car, she noticed that the dogs did not respond to her voice. When she stepped closer, her blood ran cold; all three animals laid lifeless in the car. She said goodbye to her dogs in a post on her social media account, but the post was shortly after removed.

There is already a new canine running around in Erika’s garden. As part of the investigation, her neighbours were also questioned to find out how the warrant officer had treated her dogs, how she kept them, or if she ever hurt them.

“She would not hurt them! Erika loved her dogs with admiration, they were real friends,”

the woman with three children living across the street told Blikk when they interviewed her. The warrant officer was not home but confirmed on the phone the news that her dogs were poisoned, but she did not answer how long Émon, Locky, and Cinkos had remained unattended in the car.

The Pécs Police Headquarters are investigating the case of animal torture, the warrant officer said.
