Greater Manchester Police have made a second arrest in relation to the dog attack which led to the death of 37-year-old Jonathan Hogg on Westleigh Lane in Leigh.

Police have arrested two individuals in relation to the incident.

A 24-year-old male was first arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog causing injury resulting in death.

Friday evening, a 22-year-old female was also arrested on suspicion of money laundering.

GMP Detective Chief Inspector, John Davies said: “Our investigations into this violent attack are moving at a pace, as our officers work relentlessly to understand the events that led to Jonathan’s death.

“GMP officers searched two houses and seized 15 dogs (6 adults and 9 puppies) believed to be the same breed as that which attacked Jonathan. These dogs are now being cared for at a specialist facility.

“Items totalling a value of £37,500 believed to be the result of criminal proceeds have been seized.

“Dangerous dogs do not have a place in our communities, and we want to reassure the public that we are doing everything in our power to keep people safe.
