A 'loved' mum who was killed in a dog attack will be "missed forever" by close friends.
Ann Dunn, 65, was found dead when paramedics arrived in a home on St Brigids Crescent, Vauxhall, at 4.25pm on Monday, October 3. Emergency service workers fought to save Ann's life, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Merseyside Police officers attended and cordoned off the scene, from Vauxhall Road to Alderney Road, as an investigation into the incident was launched. Police have since confirmed an investigation was launched and five American bulldogs, which were inside the property, were handed over and have since been humanely destroyed.
