The dog that mauled a four-year-old girl to death in Milton Keynes was "not a banned breed".
Thames Valley Police said officers were called to a house in Broadlands, Netherfield by the ambulance service just after 5pm on January 31. Once officers arrived they found the little girl, who has been identified as Alice Stones, in the back garden.
Shortly afterwards the dog, which was a family pet, was shot dead by armed police.
