Parents admit being in charge of husky which killed their three-month-old baby

A mum and dad are facing jail after pleading guilty to being in charge of a dangerous husky which mauled their three-month-old baby girl to death in her pram. Kyra Leanne King suffered fatal injuries to her neck and head when she was savaged by a husky sled dog called Blizzard on March 6 last year.

Her parents Vince King, 55, and Karen Alcock, 41, had been exercising 19 dogs on a field when the horror unfolded in Woodhall Spa, Lincs. A court heard Kyra had been in her pram when one of the mutts which had been pulling a racing sledge escaped and attacked the tot at Ostlers Plantation.

Her parents, of New York near Coningsby, Lincs., were later charged by police after paramedics had alerted them of the tragedy. Alcock previously admitted being he owner and/or in charge of a dog which was out of control causing injury resulting in death.
