A man and woman have been jailed after both admitting to being in charge of a dog that mauled a 10-year-old boy to death.
Jack Lis was attacked by the American bully, known as Beast, while playing with a friend at a house after school in Petwyn, Caerphilly, Wales on November 8, 2021. Brandon Hayden, 19, received a sentence of four years and six months at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, while Amy Salter, 29, was sentenced to three years in prison.
Salter, of Trethomas, Caerphilly, admitted being a person in charge of a dog dangerously out of control, causing injury resulting in Jack’s death, while Hayden, of Penyrheol, Caerphilly, pleaded guilty to being the owner of the dog that killed Jack. Both of them have been banned from owning a dog indefinitely.
