Police believe the death of a baby girl near Woodhall Spa was caused by a dog attack
Two people arrested, have been released under investigation
Police say they believe a baby girl died as a result of injuries sustained after being attacked by a dog near Woodhall Spa.
Paramedics attended the car park of Ostlers plantation on Sunday night but couldn't save the 3 month old.
A 40 year old woman and 54 year old man were arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog which was out of control, and have now been released under investigation.
The dog's thought to be a husky and remains in isolation in kennels while forensic examinations are carried out.
Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox said:
“This is an exceptionally sad incident, and one that we know will impact the local community, or indeed anyone hearing about it. There may be a temptation to speculate about what happened while people attempt to understand this tragedy, and we’d ask people to avoid doing so, particularly on social media where facts can become distorted. We will do everything we can to establish what has happened, and we’d like to thank everyone for their support.”
