A post-mortem examination will be carried out today on the body of a woman who is believed to have been mauled to death by dogs she had gone to feed.

Code:

"Neighbours reported hearing screams and dogs barking as the woman went to feed the pets in the back garden of the home in Morden, South London, on Tuesday.

The police were called at around 6.25pm but the 71-year-old was dead when they arrived.

It is understood that the woman suffered multiple injuries in the dog attack.

Five dogs including two Bordeaux bulldogs and a mongrel were taken away.

Police say none of the animals were banned breeds and no arrests have been made.

Neighbour Kevin Hamilton told Sky News he heard noises outside at about 5.15pm on Tuesday.


Police cordoned off two houses in Morden, South London
"I heard screaming and dogs barking. The screaming was not specific screaming – there were no words in it. It was very much like hysterical screaming – no 'help' or anything like that.

"I thought no more of it, and believed it to just be the kids playing."

A spokeswoman for Scotland Yard said of the victim: "She had sustained a number of injuries. An investigation is under way to establish a cause of death."

The post-mortem examination will be carried out at St George's Hospital in Tooting.

Two adjoining semi-detached houses were cordoned off by police.

Four dog breeds are banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act - the Pit Bull Terrier, the Japanese Tosa, the Dogo Argentino and the Fila Braziliero.

There have been calls for more breeds to be put on the banned list and for the law to be toughened up after a number of attacks by dogs."

There are banned breeds? That's interesting. I'm pretty sure some (if not all) of the ones they listed are allowed in the U.S.
I feel as if they omitted some details, because I can't see domestic animals just tearing apart their owners (or direct family).

She could have been provoking them with food, or two of the dogs were fighting and she tried to break them up and they turned on her.

The banning of such breeds sickens me. The dog owner is the one to blame, not the dogs. All though it's proven to be somewhat of a genetic problem, I still think it's unnecessary for such banning to take place.

Let's say a human had a faulty gene, and in this case had an anger problem. Why should one not get banned? Let's be real here.

I completely understand that Dogs can not be related to Humans, but why the fuck does it give one rights to ban these dogs? I'm not being funny, but with real treatment and right care, all of those banned dogs would be a great house pet.

LOL i wonder if her dogs where on drugs

[Mugetsu.]

That's why the pound down here won't allow you to have pitbulls. Because, they can be mean. But I think they were on drugs. tbh.

[Dyme]

Maybe she abused the dogs? Who knows. It's pretty crazy.
