The French authorities charged two female employees at an animal breeding center with manslaughter after a dog killed a 93-year-old woman in the south of the country, according to what the French Public Prosecution reported.

An 18-year-old trainee working at a center specializing in breeding large Dogo Argentino dogs was walking with three dogs in a cemetery northwest of the city of Nimes when a dog escaped from her and attacked an elderly woman.

The dog, a Dogo Argentino, killed the 93-year-old woman who was visiting the grave of a relative in the village of Canol y Argentiere.

The public prosecutor said that the 43-year-old director of the center and the trainer were charged with manslaughter, but the 18-year-old woman was released.

The director and her twin 19-year-old sons were charged with tampering with the crime scene after they took the dog out of the village before the local authorities arrived.

Dogo Argentino dogs are large and have a huge muscle mass with strong jaws, and their weight reaches between 30 and 45 kilograms when fully grown.

The trainee initially told the police that the dog that attacked the woman was “a stray,” but she later explained that the center’s director and her two sons pressured her to give this statement “in order to evade their responsibility,” according to the public prosecutor of the French district of Alice.
