Tearful father tells of moment he found his daughter, 19, dead at home ‘after family dog attacked her’

Mr Biscoe was arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury resulting in death, then subsequently released on bail on Saturday night.

He discovered his daughter unconscious between his bed and bedside table after coming home from KFC with his partner Steven Daniels, 43, on Friday evening.

As he tried to save his teenager Shy attacked him, leaving the father-of-one with puncture wounds in his arms as well as the injuries to his ear, which will require reconstructive surgery.

He described his daughter as his ‘best friend’, adding that her death was ‘so painful’.

‘I don’t know how to step forward without that child in my life. She was my only child,’ he said.

Mr Biscoe, a horse trainer, bought Shy when she was seven weeks old. Her 18-month-old puppies Bella and Mouse were downstairs at the time of the attack.

A GoFundMe page set up on Sunday by Ms Biscoe’s aunt, Maria, to raise money for funeral costs has so far received nearly £3,000 in donations.

It reads: ‘On Friday the 10th of April Jamie was tragically attacked and killed at her home by her pet dog.
