A man has admitted being the owner of a XL bully which killed his neighbour while it was dangerously out of control. He thought Mr Langley was responsible and chased him with his two dogs, one of which grabbed the older man by the throat causing catastrophic injuries. The defendant then made a panicked 999 call but despite a response by the emergency services, Mr Langley could not be saved. At the time, Michael Kennedy, also from Shiney Row, said he had known Mr Langley for more than 20 years, and said many people knew him simply as “Scouse”. This case highlights the very tragic consequences of what can happen when people fail to control dogs within their care.
