"Who would deserve to be ripped apart by two dogs, knowing that's what is happening?"
"She had raised concerns about the dogs,"
"The fact they were big; the fact they were XLs; the fact they were banned; the fact they were not under control and would jump up at people."
"It didn't take a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist to know that she was not a fit and able person [to care for the dogs],"
Esther Martin, 68, was attacked and fatally injured by two adult XL bully dogs named Beauty and Bear at a house in Hillman Avenue, Jaywick, Essex, on 3 February 2024. She suffered dozens of bite wounds that caused catastrophic bleeding. The dogs and eight puppies were inside the property while owner Ashley Warren went to London to film a music video. Nearby CCTV footage shown at Chelmsford Crown Court captured screams and frenzied barking around 15:30 GMT. Daughters said Martin had mobility issues and had expressed concerns about the large, banned, untrained dogs being kept in a small house with a child present.
