Killer ... camel spider like the one Lorraine says killed her dog

A SOLDIER’S wife has told how her family quit their home after a spider from Afghanistan killed their dog.

Lorraine Griffiths, 37, said the creature appeared when Paratrooper hubby Rodney, 32, returned from Helmand.

Pooch Bella died after a bite from the huge camel spider which is still on the loose.

Care worker Lorraine said: “It was the size of a palm. I think it hitched a lift with my husband. He’s back out there now, but I’m petrified of spiders and I cannot live in that house until it’s gone.”

Lorraine has left the four-bedroom Army property in Colchester, Essex – with children Cassie, 18, Ricky, 16 and four-year-old Ellie-Rose – and is living with her mother.

She said: “Ricky was in my bedroom, went into the drawer under my bed and something crawled across his hand. He saw a huge spider and screamed to Cassie.

“They tried to corner it, but it was too big. They poked it with a coat hanger and the spider bit it.

 

 

 

“The dog came in and barked. The spider hissed and Bella went running out whimpering.”

Eight-year-old Bella was taken ill after the encounter and had to be put down. The RSPCA and Army staff have been unable to find the invader – which can grow up to 6ins, run at up to 10mph and lives in desert regions. Iain Newby, of Essex’s Dangerous and Wild Animals Rescue Facility, said: “It’s venomous, but would not kill you.”

The Sun told in June how British soldier Graeme Boyd, 24, needed seven operations after being bitten by a camel spider in Iraq. His arm swelled to five times its normal size.
