A woman and her daughters are lucky to be alive after Colin Amatto heroically intervened to stop a dog attack in Sydney’s west, an inquest has heard.
A man suffered more than 80 wounds when he was fatally mauled by two dogs in an “attack of extreme ferocity” after bravely trying to save a woman and girl, an inquest has heard.
He said there was likely to be a conflict in the evidence over whether Hope and Boof were put in the backyard before Murray and Graham left the home that day. “The two dogs inflicted extremely serious injuries on Colin with multiple bite wounds all over his body including his neck, torso and limbs,” Kell said.
Speaking outside the NSW Coroner’s Court at Lidcombe, Kristy Amatto said she was “very proud” of her brother and that it had been a “really tough five years” since he died. “He didn’t attack me below the knees. He was jumping up and going for my throat,” Grant said. “I realised I was in serious trouble. That’s when I started screaming.”
