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.

And his family is making a stink. Here’s an idea….gather up some of the dog’s poop and give it to the family so they’ll have something to remember him by.
Our pit mix is getting old. I grabbed a newspaper from a neighboring town and saw ads for the shelter and they had 3 different pit mix dogs so I know where I can get a replacement for Mollie now.
Did I miss anything?
Yes. He was on his way to choir practice...
Good doggies.
They each deserve a t-bone grilled rare.
Moral of the story.
Break into someone’s house and you are taking your chances.
While I am no fan of pit bulls, that one chose poorly. IMO, the dogs were not in the wrong since it was their space that got violated.
Yeah.
Shrlock Holmes had an alibi. He wasn’t even there. The dogs killed the guy. Sherlock Holmes was at work.
I never saw any Harry Potter movies or read the books, but I’ve heard about a mythologic monster in some of the stories. The monster is a six headed, long fanged black dog that guards an entrance.
That may be what this thief felt as though he was being attacked by.
Dont steal. Dont break into other folks homes.
Getting bitten to death by two pits is not a good way to go.
Mark as I want to read the additional comments. Laughter is healthy.

At least the photo supplied wasn’t from grade school graduation. He really screwed up hard.

Succinctly put.
The Covid vaccine made him especially sensitive to the friendly nips of these gentle animals.
That was one of the best episodes, in the top 5.
Locally (Cape Girardeau, MO) three 18-year-olds have been arrested for murder. They are high school senior age and they are facing a long time in prison. If they graduated, their pictures might look a lot like Alex’s. I have to wonder, how and why did their lives go so wrong? Something is seriously wrong and needs to be fixed. But it seems were not even supposed to bring the subject up.
Some folks are just evil.
That said, bad family and cultural influences can take a borderline sociopath and push them into criminality.
He was getting it together but the good doggies were getting it apart.
Gee thanks, gave it 3 seconds, sucked
