An aspiring rapper has been found guilty of owning one of the XL bully dogs responsible for the first fatal attack since the breed was banned in England and Wales.
Ashley Warren, 41, was convicted after two dogs – named Beauty and Bear – mauled 68-year-old Esther Martin to death on 3 February 2024. The tragic incident occurred just two days after new legislation made it a criminal offence to own or possess an XL bully without a certificate of exemption.
