Police have closed their criminal investigation into the death of a woman who was killed by dogs in Surrey. The 28-year-old, as yet unnamed, was believed to have been walking a number of dogs in Gravelly Hill, Caterham when she was attacked on January 12.
Eight dogs were seized at the scene and remain in police custody subject to forensic investigation, though no prosecutions are being brought against any individuals. Surrey Police said none of the dogs were banned breeds.
A post mortem was carried out last week and a file is now being prepared for the Surrey coroner who is to open an inquest. Senior investigating officer, Detective Inspector Josephine Horner, said: “This is a tragic incident in which a young woman lost her life.
