Two dogs seized after a 32-year-old man was found dead in a back garden were XL bullies, tests have confirmed.
Nicholas Glass was found dead in the garden of a relative’s property on Hereford Close in Rednal, Birmingham, in the early hours of August 21.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Glass died as a result of injuries consistent with having been bitten by a dog, West Midlands Police said.
Tests have concluded that two of the dogs were of the XL bully banned breed and neither had a certificate of exemption.
All four of the dogs remain in secure kennels.
In a tribute released through police, Mr Glass’s family said: “In Nicholas we’ve lost a loving son, brother and uncle who was adored by all of his family and friends.
“He was kind-hearted, caring and compassionate and he’d do anything for anyone. We are devastated at his loss and we all miss him desperately.”
