"Screams" were heard as a woman was mauled to death by "at least two dogs" in a home.
North West Ambulance Service were called to a home on St Brigids Crescent in Vauxhall, at around 4.25pm on Monday, October 3, following reports of a woman being attacked by dogs. Once they arrived they reported they found a woman, in her 60s, dead inside the property and reported the incident to Merseyside Police.
More than a dozen police cars, three ambulance vehicles and a fire engine took over nearby Silvester Street and police put a cordon in place from Vauxhall Road to Alderney Road. Forensics officers arrived at the scene around two hours later and were seen entering the home and taking pictures outside.
