THE BANDAGES on Damien McCollin’s legs, arms, hands, fingers, ankles and toes tell a gruesome story.
Those injuries are a direct reminder of the chilling events that transpired in Monroe Road, Haggatt Hall, early yesterday morning, when his attempt to save an elderly woman’s life proved futile.
Around 5:30 a.m., the 30-year-old braved life and limb in an attempt to rescue 74-year-old Verona Gibson from a pack of vicious dogs.
Today, the bravery McCollin showed is of no consolation to him, he said, because he could not save the woman whose land he once tilled.
Standing between the spot of her death and her nearby home, McCollin explained that around midnight Saturday morning, he heard a commotion near the road.
