A woman has pleaded guilty in Bristol Crown Court to being in charge of a dangerously out of control XL bully dog that killed teenager Morgan Dorsett.

The attack happened in Withywood, Bristol, in February last year.

Police launched an investigation into the death of 19 year old Morgan Dorsett after the XL bully dog attacked her at a flat on Cobhorn Drive.

Emergency services were called but despite their efforts, Morgan sadly died at the scene.
