Police are urgently hunting two dogs they believe were involved in killing a man found dead outside his home in Birmingham.

The man, aged 33, was found dead in the back garden of his home in Rubery on Wednesday.

Police say two dogs have been seized but they are hunting two more American Bulldog types.

“The investigation into his death is continuing and our priority right now is finding the other dogs that we believe may have been involved,” Supt Sally Simpson said.

West Midlands Police was called to Hereford Close in the early hours to reports a number of dogs were loose.

They found the victim outside where they seized the two dogs.

A post-mortem examination is being carried out to establish the man’s cause of death.

Police said they were working on the belief he had been “attacked by at least one dog, which may have contributed to his death”.

The dogs are thought to have all come from the property where the man was discovered.
