FALMOUTH, Trelawny – Members of a Trelawny family were in mourning Tuesday following the discovery of the badly mutilated body of an 83-year-old woman, who is believed to be mauled to death during an attack by dogs late Monday night.

The dead woman has been identified as Kathlyn Jump of Vanzie Lands, Falmouth.

Acting commander of the Trelawny Police Division, Deputy Superintendent of Police Winston Milton told reporters that about 6:30 am on Tuesday, the police responded to a report that an injured woman was seen in the Vanzie Lands area of Falmouth.

"On arrival the police saw the bloodied body of a female, later identified as Jump, lying on the road," DSP Milton said.

He said that Jump, who moved around with the aid of a walker, was last seen at a shop near her home about 11:00 pm on Monday.

She reportedly left the shop soon afterwards and headed for home. It is believed that while she was on her way home the dogs attacked her.

Stacy-Ann Rose, Jump's distraught daughter, said it was heart-wrenching to see her mother's body on the road Tuesday morning.

"When me go down there and see me mother this morning (Tuesday) she rip up; it's like the dogs dem rip her up and drag her. Her walker was full of blood, even the puddle of water full of blood. All her hair root-out. So it look like when them [dogs] drag her, dem bite her neck first," Rose said, as she struggled to maintain her composure.

Her sister, Pansy Carey, who was equally devastated, said it is ironic that it was her mother 10 years ago who prevented her from attempting to kill the dogs, which she strongly suspects to have ripped her to death.
