Police name woman killed in suspected XL bully dog attack

Police said they were called to an address in the village of Jaywick, near Clacton-on-Sea, just after 4pm on Saturday, where they found the 68-year-old Martin. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The two dogs were destroyed in the house, and a 39-year-old man from Jaywick was arrested on suspicion of dangerous dogs offences and remains in custody, police said.

Martin's daughter, Kelly Fretwell, 46, said her mother was visiting her 11-year-old grandson at a house that was home to eight XL bully dogs, including six puppies and the two adult dogs that attacked her.

She paid tribute to her "amazing" mother, a retired Tesco worker with four children, and said Martin had tried to visit her grandchildren as often as she could.

"She came to visit my nephew and now she is dead," she said, adding that the child could have been killed as well.
