A pensioner has been killed after she was attacked and eaten in an out-of-the-blue attack by her family's pit bull.
Marina Verriest, 70, died after the 7-year-old dog mutilated her and was still "eating on the body" when she was discovered by her husband in their home in Albertson, Long Island, in the US.
The husband, 66, came home to find his wife's body mutilated and mauled as the dog dragged her through the backyard.
