19-year-old killed in dog attack

The victim, identified online as Jamie-Lea Biscoe, was reportedly attacked by a 'family pet' that was known to sleep on her bed.

Emergency services were called to the address late on Friday night, but despite their efforts, the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.

The dog has been seized by police and is being assessed by veterinary experts.

This incident occurred less than 48 hours after a separate fatal dog attack involving a baby in North Yorkshire, sparking renewed calls for stricter dangerous dog legislation.
