Two dogs believed to have attacked a man who was found dead in the back garden of a property in Birmingham have been seized by police.
A 33-year-old man, who was looking after his brother’s dogs, was found dead in Hereford Close, Rubery, on Wednesday with dog bite injuries, West Midlands Police said.
He is believed to have been attacked by at least one dog, which contributed to his death.
Two dogs were seized at the scene, both believed to be American bulldogs rather than a banned breed.
The breeds of the other dogs are unknown.
Police had previously said they were “definitely” hunting two dogs and “potentially” a third and launched an urgent appeal to trace them.
The force released a photo of one of the dogs on Thursday.
