The tragedy happened in the village of Rudgalvii (Klaipeda district) last November. An escaped cattle attacked and injured a respectable aged AN who lives right there during an interrupted electric shepherd
Experts counted more than thirty, presumably, hoof blows on the body of the 79-year-old man. He died on the way to the hospital.
Negligent taking of life is punishable by up to eight years in prison, but in most cases, a non-custodial sentence is imposed.
The bull that trampled the old man was grazing right next to his homestead, in the pasture rented to the owner of the animal, 56-year-old Daiva Mikužyta.
It is not easy to determine how it was actually there – there are no witnesses to the event. The injured man still managed to call his grandson who lives nearby.
“Grandfather said that something hurts him. I came right away. He was lying on the ground, his clothes were bloody,” said the boy in the Klaipėda district court.
He and his two sisters submitted 50 thousand each to the court. non-pecuniary damage claims amounting to EUR.
The police officer said that when he arrived at the scene, the electric shepherd had fallen to the ground, and several stakes holding it had fallen. D. Mikuzytė had already driven her five cattle further.
The woman was speechless in court, she claimed that the shepherd was doing well.
The defendant’s defense attorney reiterated that all the equipment was relatively new, and he can provide documents to prove it.
The lawyer said that he did not know what to protect the woman from, because the exact circumstances of the incident have not been determined: maybe that person was walking to his sheep, which were grazing nearby, or maybe a bull approached them, which the man tried to kill and thus angered him.
