Mauled to death by her own dogs

Family begged tragic mum to ditch pet XL bullies that killed her

THE family of a mum mauled to death by her own XL bully dogs begged her to get rid of the pets, it was claimed yesterday. 

Angeline Mahal’s savaged body was found by her two sons who desperately tried to save her.

But she had already died and relatives fear she may have been lying there for hours.

The 50-year-old’s killer dogs were seized by police after armed officers stormed her home and found them locked in a room.

A sign on the front of Angeline’s home read “nevermind the dog, beware of the kids”.

One family member said: “We asked her to get rid of the dogs. The bond with owners and their dogs is too strong. She kept them in cages in one of the rooms.

“She had two dogs from when they were puppies. They were registered.

“The dogs took up a lot of her time, they took away her freedom.

“I told her many times to get rid of the dogs. This is an aggressive breed. We are just shocked. You hear about these attacks in a paper but you never expect this to happen to your own family.
