Overview

  • Passersby found a 33-year-old man dead on January 8 in a roadside ditch on An der Querlenburg in Lohne’s Brockdorf district.
  • An American Bulldog at the scene repeatedly blocked first responders and behaved aggressively, complicating access to the body.
  • Investigators located a female cohabitant who was brought to the scene and was able to calm and secure the dog.

  • The dog was taken into official custody by the Vechta district veterinary office and placed in an animal-welfare facility as police pursue all lines of inquiry.
