Killer dog owner jailed for 10 years

A LOLLIPOP man was heard screaming ‘help me, please somebody help me’ as he was fatally savaged by a neighbour’s dog, a court heard yesterday.

A judge said David Ellam ‘met his death in a most appalling manner’ as dog owner Aaron Joseph was jailed for ten years.

Joseph, 30, had denied being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control. The dog, a type of bull terrier, should have been muzzled and chained but Leeds Crown Court heard that it escaped a pen and attacked Mr Ellam, 52, in Huddersfield in August 2016.
