A nine-month-old baby has been killed in a dog attack in south-east Wales, according to Gwent Police.<\/p>\n
Officers and paramedics went to a property on Crossway in Rogiet, Monmouthshire, at about 18:00 GMT on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The dog was seized and removed from the address, the force said. <\/p>\n
Ch Supt John Davies said: “Officers are on scene and will be making further inquiries as the investigation progresses.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Residents said they were in in utter disbelief at the death of the child, with the community in shock and trying to come to terms with what had happened. <\/p>\n
They said they saw police cars and ambulances on the quiet residential street in south Wales at the time of the incident. <\/p>\n
By 22:00 the police cordon had been lifted and all the ambulances and most police cars had gone, replaced by scenes of crime investigation vehicles.<\/p>\n
At this time two police officers were still guarding a house on Crossway, a street now silent but for the hum of cars on the M4 and trains on the south Wales to London line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
