East London man jailed for 10 years over XL bully fatal attack

In a case that has intensified the debate over dangerous dogs, Ashley Warren, 41, was jailed for 10 years after being convicted of owning one of two XL bully dogs that mauled Esther Martin to death in east London on February 3, 2024, just two days after a ban on the breed came into force.\n\nThe jury found Warren responsible for owning the dog involved in the fatal attack, part of the two-dog incident that ended Esther Martin's life. The brutal incident has renewed calls for stricter enforcement of breed-specific restrictions and better support for dog owners and communities.\n\nAuthorities and animal welfare groups have urged continued vigilance as the London area grapples with the impact of XL bully incidents. No further details on the other dog were disclosed in court.\n\nWarren will serve the 10-year sentence in custody, with potential considerations for parole after serving a portion of the term.
