According to Daily mail:
The Aylestone Bulldog family pet killed Lexi Branson after attacking her in the lounge of their two-bed flat in November 2013.
A post-mortem revealed Lexi died from facial injuries and the dog preventing her
breathing during its attack.
breathing during its attack.
The dog - called Mulan - had been collected from kennels for strays by Lexi's mother, Jodi Hudson, a few weeks before.
Unknown to the kennels, the dog had gone through the hands of several owners since 2007, a police investigation later revealed.
Its
last owner, from Leicester, had it three months before lying to a
council dog warden by telling them it was a stray so it would be taken
away.
Detective
Sergeant Kenny Henry, of Leicestershire Police, said while the dog had
seemed 'placid' it had attacked another dog belonging to the previous
owner in the garden.
That owner also told the RSPCA he was 'concerned for the safety of his own children' following the attack.
But
he had then lied about owning the dog, telling a city council dog
warden it was a stray - a decision which Mr Henry put down to one 'of
expense'.
Ms
Hudson, at the time living in Mountsorrel, Leicestershire, described
the dog as 'very gentle' and said it had never shown any aggression to
her or her daughter prior to the attack.
Mulan
was advertised by the dog-rehoming kennels as 'better suited to a home
without young children' because of its size, but staff described its
temperament as 'very friendly'.
Warden Jodie Barlow, who collected the animal, said the dog 'seemed OK'.
But
a note from the warden service to the kennels, written when Mulan was
handed over, stated the dog 'looks like she has been fighting, with
marks all over her face'.
But
on November 5 last year, with Lexi unwell and off school watching TV
with her mother, the dog 'just went up on all-fours and just stared at
Lexi', Ms Hudson said.
