Surrey police said eight dogs were arrested at the site of an attack that killed a woman on Thursday. The investigators keep the owners updated with the investigation.

A police cordon has been lifted following the death of a 28-year-old woman in Gravelly Hill, Caterham, a popular local beauty spot. It is believed that the victim was walking several dogs when she was attacked

Paramedics were unable to save her and she was pronounced dead at the scene. No arrests have been made.

“This is a tragic incident in which a young woman sadly lost her life. Our thoughts remain with her family and friends, and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time,” said Senior Investigating Officer de Josephine Horner.

“Specialized teams were doing forensic work at the scene but it has now been completed and the area has reopened to the public.

“I know this incident has caused real concerns at the local level and officers from the local neighborhood team will be present in the area to provide reassurance to residents.

“The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident is ongoing and I urge anyone with information who has not yet spoken to the police to contact us.”

Richard Brim, who runs the nearby Mardens Kennels Hotel, told the Palestinian News Agency that he had never heard of a dog attack in the area.

“This particular area, View Point, is an area where professional dog walkers come in their truck and take the dogs outside and lead them,” he said.

“I always felt like you see some dog walkers have five or six, and they really shouldn’t be able to do that.”

A man at an address close to the scene of the accident, who asked not to be named, told PA that the beauty spot was very popular with dog walkers.

“The dogs were scattered in different parts of the forest and the police helicopter was outside looking for them,” he said.

An autopsy examination will be carried out by the Coroner in Surrey as part of the death inquest.
