A 28-year-old dog walker has been identified as the female victim brutally killed in a savage dog attack
yesterday. Armed police and the National Police Air Service swooped into the park in Surrey where the incident took place after receiving reports of a dog attacking people.
Previous reports said there were seven dogs involved in the incident. Police sealed off the surrounding roads around the open country area as the large-scale investigation into the woman's awful death continues. Inspector Lyndsey Whatley of Surrey Police said: “This is a tragic incident where a young woman has sadly lost her life and our thoughts are with her family and friends.
A police cordon remained in place yesterday and today at Gravelly Hill while forensic work is carried out. Officers have put up a black gazebo at the scene and multiple police cars and two red vans - one marked 'Underwater Search Unit' were seen behind the cordon. Locals said the terrifying attack has left the community in the town of Caterham 'feeling really anxious'.
"We found out about the incident yesterday and it really shocked me and my husband. I've never known it to have a problem with dog attacks before. It just doesn't really make any sense.
