Coweta County, GA – An alleged home intruder wanted on multiple warrants was found dead on the front porch of a residence after he broke into a house and was mauled to death by two dogs, according to police.
Coweta County sheriff’s deputies were called to a residence on Walt Sanders Road off of North Highway 29 at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 24 after the homeowner returned to his house and found a man dead on his porch, The Newnan Times-Herald reported.
The deceased man was later identified as 21-year-old Alex Binyam Abraha, an Atlanta resident who was wanted on multiple warrants out of Fulton County, according to WTVT.
Police said the homeowner told them he did not know Abraha and that he had no idea why he would be in his house.
After investigating the scene and obtaining the results of an autopsy, police concluded Abraha entered the home and was attacked by the owner’s two pit bulls, The Western Journal reported.
They said the dogs mauled Abraha, who ended up making his way back outside onto the porch.
His cause of death was determined to be due to a “dog attack,” according to The Western Journal.
The dogs’ owner is not facing any charges.
The dogs were removed from the home and are currently in the care of Coweta County Animal Control for a mandatory 10-day rabies hold, according to The Western Journal.
“Coweta County has received multiple inquiries regarding the dogs involved in a local home intrusion,” the county said in an update on Sept. 24, after being contacted by numerous people who wanted to know why the animals were removed.
“We want to clarify that in accordance with the Georgia Department of Public Health (Rabies Control), the dogs are required by law to remain in quarantine for 10 days without direct contact to other animals or humans,” the update read, according to The Western Journal.
“The confinement must be under the authority of the designated rabies control agency — in this case, Coweta County Animal Services,” the county noted. “Following this quarantine, the owner will be able to retrieve the dogs.”
Abraha’s family established a fundraising page to help “support them financially with funeral expenses and planning his final resting place” as they search “for a sense of closure.”
“His family has to deal with confusing and unclear details from the police, with no concrete evidence or story,” the fundraising page claimed.
Donors have contributed more than $2,300 to the cause so far.
Animal control blindly following some law not meant for burglars mauled to death. Should be some common sense ability for the dogs to not undergo 10-days quarantine.

Because the dead guy may end up needing rabies shots? LOL Or maybe they're afraid they might have been infected by the intruder.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I don't think the dead guy is worried about rabies.

I wondered that too. Makes no sense. Anyone know why this would be mandatory when the person bit is deceased?
ETA: Oh wait, maybe they think the dogs may have attacked due to rabies and want to make sure nobody else gets attacked. that's all I got for a guess.

Concrete evidence: He was found dead on the porch of a house he broke into.
He was clearly framed. The dogs must have killed him elsewhere but didn't want to be charged, so they dragged him back to their house...which they'd broken out of, and staged the break in.

As to the rabies hold, my bet is the owner of the hounds had no proof of rabies vaccination and the dogs had to undergo the quarantine for that reason. At least that is what I'm hoping...
