A man arrested in connection with a fatal dog attack on a classroom assistant has been rebailed.

Alex Blackburn-Smith, 34, was interviewed by police on Friday in relation to the attack on Barbara Williams, 52, in Demesne Road, Wallington on December 23.

The volunteer from St Elphege's Roman Catholic Junior School died after she was mauled by an 8st Italian mastiff, which is understood to have belonged to Mr Blackburn-Smith, her landlord.

She was still struggling with the animal when police arrived at the scene and shot it dead.

Mr Blackburn-Smith was arrested on Christmas Eve on suspicion of manslaughter, and cultivating cannabis.

He was reinterviewed by police on Friday. He was rebailed to report again to police on a future date.
