Teenager killed by XL Bully named by police
A teenager killed by a dog in a flat in Bristol has been identified. Police named the young woman as Morgan Dorsett, 19, from Shropshire. She was attacked by a dog believed to have been an XL Bully in a flat in Cobhorn Drive in the Hartcliffe area of the city at 7.19pm on Wednesday. Avon and Somerset Police said the dog had been put down and they were still trying to confirm the breed. A man and a woman, both in their 20s, who were arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control, causing injury resulting in death, and possession of a prohibited breed of dog, have been released on conditional police bail while the investigation continues. A neighbour who lives near the flat where the attack happened, said that she was sure the dog was an XL bully. The woman, who did not wish to be identified, said she had seen the dog on a lead with its owner. "She did mention the dog wasn't great with men, fine with women and children," the woman said. The neighbour described comforting the dog owner, who appeared to be in shock, following the incident. "She couldn't talk or say a word," she said. "It was like she wasn't there because of the shock. "I genuinely feel that this was one of those freak accidents and wasn't her fault – that's how I feel." A police spokesman said Ms Dorsett's family were being updated on the investigation and were being supported by a specially trained officer. "They have thanked members of the public for their support and those who have left flowers. They have asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time," he said. On Thursday, Inspector Terry Murphy thanked officers and paramedics who tried to save Ms Dorsett's life, saying they were being supported. A full investigation was under way to establish the full circumstances of the events that led to her death, he said.
