An inquest is set to open later into the death of a woman in a reported dog attack in Surrey.

A hearing into the death of 28-year-old Natasha Johnston is due to take place at Surrey Coroner's Court today.

It's thought Miss Johnston was walking a number of dogs at Gravelly Hill in Caterham when she was set upon.

Last week - police told us nobody will be prosecuted in connection with Miss Johnston's death - saying: "The criminal investigation has now concluded and the information we have gathered will be passed to the Surrey Coroner."

The eight dogs involved continue to be held for forensic tests, but police say none are banned breeds.

The inquest into the death of Miss Johnston is expected to formally open this morning.
