A mum and dad have avoided prison after their three-month-old baby was savaged to death in her pram by one of their Husky dogs at a beauty spot
.
A destruction order was today granted at court for the dog, reports the Mirror. King and his then partner Karen Alcock were at the woodland near Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, on the evening of the horrific incident, Lincoln Crown Court heard. He then attacked Kyra in her pram. She tragically died at the scene, despite paramedics' best efforts. An inquest later found she died from head and neck injuries.
"There is absolutely nothing to prevent a dog from getting from one part to another and out of the van. In other words, absolutely no preventative measures. Judge Sjolin Knight said the incident resulted from a “tragic conjunction of circumstances”. She said: “This is a tragic case, and I have no doubt that both of you wish every day you could wind the clock back so that incident never happened. There was nothing to trigger [Blizzard’s] attack on Kyra, but on this occasion she was dangerously out of control.
King had raced dogs for 20 years after working in the military and also bred huskies, and on the day of the incident had taken his dogs out for a practice run on a well-known route about three miles long. Alcock, a veterinary nurse, had been with King since 2019 and accompanied him on the racing runs, with the pair working “as a team”.
