London - Police investigating how a
5-month-old baby came to be mauled to death by two Rottweiler dogs
have launched a murder inquiry after a 47-year-old woman was
killed in a knife attack and a man seriously injured.
Media reports on Monday said the injured 50-year old man was
the grandfather of the dead baby girl, named by newspapers as
Caydee-Lee Glaze.
"We are attempting to establish whether there was a familial
link with the people who were stabbed and the dead baby," a
Leicester police spokesperson confirmed.
But she added: "there is absolutely no connection with the
death of the baby and the stabbings". Arrests
Police said a 26-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman have
been arrested in connection with the stabbings.
Baby Caydee-Lee was savaged by guard dogs at The Rocket pub
in the New Parks area of the city on Saturday afternoon.
Just hours later, early on Sunday morning, emergency
services went to an address in Grassington Close in the Beaumont
Leys part of the city. They found the body of 47-year-old
Debra Larn and the badly injured 50-year-old man.
Both had been stabbed.
On Monday neighbours described the two dogs which killed the
baby girl as guard dogs and not pets.
The dogs have been put down.
