An intruder was mauled to death by a pair of dogs after breaking into a Georgia home last week, according to local authorities.
The homeowner, who was not named, discovered the body of 21-year-old Alex Binyam Abraha on his front porch around 10:30 am on September 24.
Authorities said Abraha successfully entered the two-bedroom house in a rural area of Newnan the night before, and was immediately greeted by two pit bulls inside the home.
The sheriff’s department initially called in homicide investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation thinking that Abraha's death was a murder.
However, the medical examiner eventually determined he died from injuries sustained during the dog attack.
Fox News reports that the homeowner told authorities he did not know Abraha nor did he know how he got in, adding the man had no reason to be inside the house.
Both dogs were seized as a part of the investigation by the county's Department of Corrections. As of Friday afternoon, it was not immediately clear what will happen to them.
Pictures of both dogs were tweeted by Doug Evans, a journalist with local Fox affiliate WAGA-TV.
Abraha, who grew up in Worthington, Minnesota, had several active warrants in Fulton County at the time of his death, Fox News reports.

Another victim of systemic racism!
I had a German Shepard that didn’t bark if someone were trying to come in. He’d get as close to the door or window as he could and he’d bunker down with his inch and a half fangs fully bared. I actually measured his teeth. They looked huge. I’m guessing these dogs kept their mouths shut when the interloper was doing his breaking…. Must have been terrifying.
FWIW, Patrick McGoogan was the Columbo villain in four episodes. I don’t think anyone else ever did more than two.
Cerberus is much older than any Harry Potter tale. It is the beast which guarded Hades in Greek lore.
He was just beginning to get his life turned around, aspiring rapper and all...
IIRC, Hagrid had named him “Fluffy”
I doubt it. He looks like he was probably a member of one of those wacky “Black Israelite” cults where they take vaguely Jewish/Moroccan sounding names.
My white-headed girl Gwen is the best dog I’ve ever had. Sweet, smart, hilarious, and good with kids and other dogs.
Great! Thanks for sharing that.
Send his remains to his family in doggy poop bags.
My mom came over one time when I was asleep. She said that when she opened the door, my pit was waiting in the hall. He saw who it was, wagged his tail a little, and quietly went back to my side and laid down.
He graduated from the College of Hard Knocks.
That’s not Patrick McGoohan, it’s Nicol Williamson.
Nicol Williamson was the fellow in that episode. (Columbo” How to Dial a Murder)
LOL!
