Ellie Lawrenson, 5, Mauled to Death by Pit Bull

Ellie Lawrenson, five, was mauled to death by her uncle's dog Reuben

British 5-year-old girl Ellie Lawrenson, was killed in the early hours of New Year's Day when her uncle Keil Simpson's pit bull - Reuben - locked its jaws around her throat and shook the little toddler around her grandmother Jacqueline Simpson's living room. Miserable little Ellie Lawrenson suffered 72 injuries all over the body.

Her grandmother Jacqueline Simpson said she couldn't help little Ellie Lawrenson because the dog just looked scared and she couldn't grab it. But it was said the grandmother smoked cannabis and drank alcohol the day. Now the 45-year-old woman was charged over the death of her granddaughter.
