A Los Angeles jury has ordered singer Chris Brown to pay about $13 million (Sh1,679,730,000) after one of his dogs viciously attacked his housekeeper in 2020.
The incident reportedly happened outside the Grammy winner's home in Tarzana, Los Angeles, while housekeeper Maria Avila was taking out the trash.
According to Variety, she was allegedly mauled by Hades, a 200-pound Caucasian Shepherd.
After a two-week trial, the jury found the "Under the Influence" singer negligent and awarded Maria Sh1.7bn ($12.9 million) for her injuries, Sh114m ($885,000) to her sister, who witnessed the attack, and Sh6.4m ($50,000) to Maria's husband.
Evidence presented during the trial played a key role in the verdict.
