Man aged in his 60s mauled to death by three dogs at house in small country town

A man has died after being savaged by three dogs in a quiet country town in Wales.

The man, aged in his 60s, was attacked at a property in Lampeter, Powys, which is around 20km from the Irish Sea.

Police say the man - who hasn't been named - was bitten by three dogs and a woman has since been arrested, The Mirror reports.

A spokesman said: “We are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man at a property in Lampeter.

"Dyfed-Powys Police officers were called just after 5pm, Monday, 10th January 2022, to a report that a man had been bitten by dogs resident within the household.

"Sadly, a man in his 60s passed away at the scene."

Officers said the woman was arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control.

She has been released under investigation pending further police enquiries.

A police spokesman said: "The three dogs involved did not fall under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and have been removed from the property.”
