Moment police storm XL bully owner’s house after dog fatally mauls pensioner

Police footage shows the moment officers stormed a house after an XL Bully attacked and killed a pensioner in Essex. Ashley Warren, 41, of Garfield Road, Addleston, has been jailed for 10 years and three months after he was found guilty of owning one of two XL bully dogs which attacked and killed Esther Martin in Jaywick in February 2024, two days after a ban on the breed came into force. Prosecutors said Warren asked Ms Martin to mind two XL bully dogs at his then home in Jaywick so he could travel to London to film a music video. The law makes it a criminal offence to own or possess an XL bully dog in England and Wales without a certificate of exemption. Warren accepted in court that he did not hold exemption certificates and had not applied for any.
