An aspiring rapper whose XL bullies mauled a pensioner to death is facing jail.

Ashley Warren, 41, left 68-year-old Esther Martin at his home in Jaywick, Essex, with 10 of the dogs on February 3, 2024 – two days after the breed was banned in the UK.

She suffered ‘dozens and dozens’ of bite wounds, including one which ‘completely fractured’ her arm, and police with riot shields had to taser the animals before considering it safe enough to enter.
