Jack Lis, a ten-year-old boy has been mauled to death by a dog called Beast.
Gatekeepers News reports that two people, a 28-year-old woman, and a 19-year-old man have been charged over the horrific death of Little Jack who suffered ‘severe injuries to the head and neck’ when he was set upon by a dog while playing at his friend’s home.
The duo will appear in court in connection with Jack’s death.
The tragedy befell Jack in November last year during his visit to his friend’s house after finishing school in Penyheol, Caerphilly.
The pair, whose names haven’t been disclosed, are understood to have taken American bully Beast from a breeder just days before the tragedy.
They are both charged with being in the charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death.
Meanwhile, the 19-year-old man is accused of five further offences connected to two alleged attacks by the dog in the days before Jack’s death.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hobrough said, “The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorised charges for two people who were previously arrested on suspicion of the offence of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death.
“The CPS reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings are active and all the defendants have a right to a fair trial.
“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.
“This development does not also mean that our investigation has concluded; it is still active, and we will speak any other person of interest as our enquiries into this matter continue.
“Since we started this investigation in November, there has been significant interest about this in our communities.
“It is vital that people continue to think about how their social media comments or posts could impact an ongoing investigation, and Jack’s grieving family.
“Once again, my condolences and thoughts are with Jack’s family, friends, school friends and everyone affected by this within the community.”
