A man’s body has been found just metres from the site of a horrendous dog attack over the weekend.
The body has since been identified as being that of a 48-year-old Chermside man.
The circumstances of his death remain unclear, but the man was deceased when police made the discovery.
It came while officers were attending to area to assist Brisbane City Council workers probing the dog incident, which happened just days earlier
Police say the coincidental nature of the discovery is the only connection between the dog attack and the body being found.
It comes after the incident on Friday, October 16, when a jogger was left fighting for his life after being attacked by two dogs.
The victim, 37-year-old real estate agent Ajay Malik, was running through Seventh Brigade Park, on the same road, when he was set upon by the two animals.
Both dogs belonged to Layla Evans, a homeless woman who had been living in a tent in bushland on the edge of the park.
Police located both dogs, one on Friday then the second the following morning, and they are now in the car of authorities.
However, Brisbane City Council has since issued a destruction order which will see the two dogs, an American Staffordshire Terrier Bulldog cross and Bulldog Boxer, put down.
Ms Evans, who was arrested on an unrelated matter, told Courier Mail that she was “sick with worry” about what may happen to her pets and said she was eager to appeal the order.
“I don’t want anyone to get hurt; I always tell me dogs off if they ever show any signs of aggression - they’re just protective,” she said.
She told the masthead that she depended on the dogs for security, but that they were not dangerous animals.
“I’m thinking about appealing it (the destruction order) but I haven’t even looked at the paperwork and I don’t know if I’ve got the money for this stuff,” she said.
She added that the dogs may have escaped from their enclosure, which is buried deep in the scrum alongside her pens, because somebody had tried to access her camp.
“They’ve never got out of their pens, it was deep in the bush so no-one would stumble across it.
“Whoever went in there had to be going there on purpose, you don’t just accidentally walk into my tent.”
