A four-year-old girl has died after being mauled by a dog in Milton Keynes, police believe.
Police and paramedics rushed to a home in the city's Netherfield area on Tuesday after being told that a dog had attacked a child in the back garden of the property.
But it was quickly confirmed that the child had died at the scene, Thames Valley Police said.
"This is an absolutely tragic incident, in which we believe that a child has been killed after being attacked by a dog," said Superintendent Matt Bullivant.
