Baby boy 'killed by family dogs'

A baby boy has died after what is believed to be an attack by two family dogs.
Neighbours said three-and-a-half-month-old Jaden Mack was staying with his grandmother at the time. Jaden was taken in the early hours from the house in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly county, to hospital, where he was declared dead.
A Jack Russell and Staffordshire bull terrier are believed to have caused the injuries, and they have been put down.

Adult female family member" who was caring for Jaden at the time was taken to hospital to be treated for shock. Jaden's parents were not at the address at the time. Officers will speak to her later about the attack, which happened in the downstairs living area. No arrests have been made. The dogs were taken from the home and police said the decision was taken in conjunction with the family to humanely destroy the animals.

Gwent Police family liaison officers are currently supporting and assisting the family through this difficult time. "The family wish to be left alone to grieve.
"Although the exact circumstances of the baby's death are yet to be established, we would like to reiterate the advice given to dog owners that dogs should never be left unsupervised with young children at any time."
