Gomez introduced them and told Martino to stay with them that night. He then stated that he would come the next day to take him to his job. Martino noticed that all three students at the house took drugs and were involved in some criminal activities to earn money for drugs. Gomez came to the house the next afternoon and gave Martino 100 US dollars and asked Martino to help kidnap another person in the evening. Gomez threatened Martino and so  Martino agreed.

They stopped their microbus near the restaurant and waited outside. Five minutes later, one of the students called the victim on his mobile phone and asked him to come outside.

At about 21.00 hours they arrived at the house of Fomento Road where the student from Dili National University lived. Martino admitted that in the house he hit the boy on his chest and wrist with the bamboo stick.

The man told the officer that at 10.30 hours his son , John Alba, had been playing in front of their house located at Low Street, when suddenly three dogs attacked his son.

The other two dogs were not as big as the pack leader, and only weighed about 25 kilos each. One of them was all brown and the other was black with a white spot on its chest. They were not wearing collars or identification tags. The officer asked if the man's son was still at home. The man informed the officer that an ambulance had taken his son to a local hospital for care and that his wife had gone with the boy in the ambulance.

He had also been bitten on the both arms and severely bitten on the right hand. There were two areas on the right arms that required three stitches each and the index finger on the child's right hand was being surgically repaired at that time. The officer asked the doctor to call the police station with more information if there was any change in the condition of the child.

Follow-up Report # 2: An  LNP officer interviewed the child's mother, Regina Alba, at the local hospital immediately after interviewing the doctor. She told the officer that her son was playing with a small red ball in front of their house when three dogs attacked him.

Regina also stated that she yelled at  the dogs during their attack on her son and tried to beat them off with a stick,but they did not stop attacking him. The officer noticed that the mother's left hand had also been bitten. Regina was treated by medical staff immediately after the interview.

Follow-up Report # 3: On Sunday 23 March 2008, at 18.00 hours, two police officers from Station # 2 were sent to Low Street to investigate the group of dogs that had attacked the child earlier that day. Upon arrival, they noticed a black dog with a white spot on its chest running into an abandon building on the west side  of the  street with a red ball in its mouth. The officers proceeded into the building and saw all three dogs together, fighting over the red ball. The first officer yelled at the dogs and the largest one, the white dog turned to face the officers and started growling. The officers could see that there were no collars or identification tags on any of the dogs. Suddenly, the white dog attacked the two officers. The first officer drew his 9mm weapon at the remaining two attacking dogs five times, killing them both.
Follow-up Report # 4:  On Monday 24 2008 at 13.00 hours around 50 people assembled outside the Main Police Headquarters in Monrovia protesting against the dog problems in the city.

Narrative

On Sunday 23 March 2008, at 13.30 hours a man called Joseph Alba entered Police Station # 7 and said that a group  of stray dogs had attacked his son John. The son had been taken to the hospital for treatment and the police officers shot the dogs later that day.

On Monday 24 March 2008 at 13.00 hours about 50 people assembled outside the Main Police Headquarters protesting against the situation in the city regarding stray dogs. Ms. Elisabeth Johnson, a primary school teacher, was the leader of the demonstration. She had witnessed the incident with the boy and the dogs and was called in for a statement.

She came to the Monrovia police station # 2 on Tuesday 25 March 2008 at 10.00 hours to give her witness statement. She confirmed that she was the founder and the leader of the organization PEOPLE AGAINST DOGS (PAD) which was responsible for the demonstration the day before. The organization was established in 2006 to fight against the stray dog situation in the city which has been threatening the safety of its inhabitants. Ms Johnson was also concerned about the dogs welfare and questioned why the police consistently responded to these incidents by killing them. She was of the opinion that the police had more important things to do and that the problem with the aggressive dogs was more of a community responsibility. Lacks of trash services, as well as, the absence of dog shelters and poor veterinary services, were the main reasons for problems with the stray dogs. Her organization delivered three petitions to the office of city Mayor on the issue in the past.

Ms. Johnson further stated that she had witnessed the situation with John Alba and the dogs  on Sunday. All three dogs had been dirty and in a generally poor state. It seemed to her that the dogs thought the boy had brought them food in the plastic bag he was carrying. When they understood that he did not bring them anything,  they attacked the boy and seriously bit him in the face and on his body. She noticed that the ambulance came and took the boy to the hospital.

She learned later that the police killed the three dogs without trying to catch them and bring them to the veterinarian. She clearly stated that the police should be more observant towards the local people and how they treated the dogs in the city and cooperate with the community to find better solutions.

Dialogue

Please state your name ?
My name is Elisabeth Johnson.
What is your profession?
I am a school teacher at Monrovia Primary School.
On Sunday 23 March you witnessed a dog attack on a local boy. Is that correct?
Yes. That is correct.
Can you please describe what you saw?
I was out walking to get some fresh air. I was on Low Street, when I saw a little boy coming out from his house with a red ball in his hands and a plastic bag. 
What happened then?
Three dirty stray dogs approached him most likely to get food. The boy did not have any food for the dogs, so the dogs approached him and attacked him. 
Was the boy injured?
Yes. To my knowledge he was bitten on his face and arms. I saw an ambulance taking him away from the scene.
Yesterday you also attended a demonstration outside the Main Police Headquarters related to the case. Tell me the reason behind this demonstration.
I am the leader of the PEOPLE AGAINST DOGS or PAD, which is an association founded in 2006. I've experienced an increasing problem in Monrovia of stray dogs threatening the citizens and so I established this organization.
Do you know why Monrovia has these issues?
I believe there are three main reasons for that. It is the lack of trash services, the absence of dog shelters and poor veterinary services.
Have you witnessed similar situations in the past?
This happens almost every day. And in my opinion the police have better things to do other than responding to situations like this.
Was that the reason for the demonstration as well?
Yes. We  want to emphasize that it is community responsibility to improve the situation and to prevent further dog attacks on our citizens. We have already submitted three petitions to the office with no result.
Thank you for your assistance. We will take up this matter seriously and follow up with   the Mayor's office from our side.
