The family of Ann Dunn, the woman who was killed by dogs in an attack in a house in Liverpool on Monday, have paid tribute to the dearly missed 65-year-old.

Ms. Dunn was tragically mauled to death at a property on St Brigids Crescent, Vauxhall, which is listed online as the location for ‘Leo’s Bullys’ dog breeding business.

Five American bulldogs, which were inside the property, have been humanely destroyed by the authorities.

A 31-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of owning a dog dangerously out of control has been released on conditional bail.

The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

Detective Inspector Katie Coote said: “This is clearly a very distressing incident and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the lady who died.

“Our enquiries remain ongoing as we seek to establish what has happened and I would urge anyone who could assist our enquiries to get in touch.”
