The terrible attack took place near the city’s horse racing stadium and the Arctic State Agro-Technological University in extreme weather conditions as low as -48 ° C.
The chemistry professor – an expert in polymer nanocomposites at Northeastern Federal University – had been lying dead in the snow for several hours when her body was found by a student named Semyon Alexeev.

He was also reportedly attacked by the same pack of violent wanderers, not the first attack on pedestrians in the area.
They ripped off his clothes, but he eventually repelled the dogs and reported the discovery of Dr Sleptsova’s body.
The mayor of Yakutsk, Yevgeny Grigoriev, ordered a state of emergency in the district where the attack occurred, for fear of further attacks.
He said: “As many people as possible will be mobilized to catch this pack of dogs.
“We will do our best to prevent this pack from reappearing in the city. We’ll catch all unmarked dogs.

“We will mobilize all forces. Our priority is a city for people, not for dogs. Please be understanding.
He said: “I offer my deepest condolences to [the professor’s] family and friends. It is an irreparable loss. ”
But ex-mayor Sardana Avksentyeva blamed a failure of Russian law to allow wanderers to roam the streets of Siberian cities in difficult conditions.
She said: “They are predators that hunt every day. Hunt us, our children. How many more deaths, bitten children, and more livestock will it take to stop this? ”
She demanded a new reader with appropriate funds to rid the cities of stray dogs.
She added: “Towns and villages should not be seen as the natural habitat of stray dogs. “
