A man who died after being attacked by two dogs has been named by police.
The two animals – believe to be the XL Bully breed – escaped a property in Main Street in Stonnall at around 3.15pm yesterday (14th September).

“Our deepest sympathies remain with the family and friends of Ian.
“We also understand the shock and upset felt within the village of Stonnall. We’ve got local officers in the area, please speak to them if you need to.”
