25-year-old woman killed in suspected dog attack at her home
A 25-year-old woman has died after a suspected attack by a dog at her home, police have said.
West Midlands Police said they were called to an address in Sunbeam Way, in Kitts Way, in the east of Birmingham, shortly after 2pm on Friday by one of the victim's relatives.
The woman was found dead at the scene with serious injuries.
The injuries are thought to have been caused by the dog, said to be a Staffordshire cross, which also lived at the address.
Police said no-one else was in the property at the time of the incident, and the dog has been signed over to police by the woman's family.
The animal will be humanely put to sleep.
A force spokesperson continued: "The death is being treated as a tragic incident, but with no suspicious circumstances.
"A file will be prepared for the coroner in due course."
