Brutal murder: three police dogs found dead in patrol car

They helped to catch and track criminals, discovered drugs, but in spite of all the special training, they could not be armed against human evil. An unknown perpetrator cruelly poisoned three police dogs, who died an agonising death.

According to Blikk, their owner, the warrant officer Erika, was shocked to find the lifeless bodies of her faithful companions in her car in the parking lot of the Mohács police station. Émon, Locky, and Cinkos belonged to the Pécs Police Headquarters. They died in terrible torment, and there is no explanation for such cruelty. They received the K-9 training, the highest level possible, which means that only a few other dogs could do what they were able to.

The training of police dogs starts when they are a pup; they need to have an excellent nervous system and endurance, and in the case of search dogs, an exceptional sense of smell is also a requirement. This is exactly what Émon, Locky, and Cinkos were like: they learned discipline and followed the command of their master without hesitation.

The death of such police dogs is a huge loss, both financially, as they were worth HUF 6 million (~ €16,700), and emotionally, as apart from always being ready to go on a mission, they were family members.

According to the information of Blikk, investigators are still guessing about the motive and perpetrator of the dog murder. It makes their work more difficult that the parking lot was not observed by CCTV, and despite the autopsy, several forensic experts are still guessing regarding the exact poison used to kill the dogs. It is believed that perhaps some kind of pesticide caused their deaths.

Recently, the number of cruel criminal acts seems to be on the rise; a man broke the bones of a child to stop him from crying, and in another case, a man stabbed a police officer because of drugs.
