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

The father of a teenager who was killed in a dog attack has told of the horrific moment he discovered his daughter dead at home.

Jack Biscoe, 37, found his daughter Jamie-Lea Biscoe, 19, collapsed on the floor in his bedroom at around 10.45pm on Friday.

Police rushed to the scene in the village of Leaden Roding, Essex – but the teenager was pronounced dead after suffering a bite wound to her neck.

The dog, a seven-year-old blue-merle lurcher called Shy, has been seized by police along with her puppies following Ms Biscoe’s tragic death.

Her tear-filled father has now told of the ‘horror and destruction’ her death has caused him despite describing the family pet as the ‘softest dog’ and her daughter’s ‘best friend’.

Mr Biscoe, who had part of his ear bitten off by Shy after trying to save his daughter’s life by giving her CPR, told The Sun: ‘Witnessing the horror and destruction it has caused me, it’s not worth it. Treat them as dogs, give them their beds, be careful.’

He added: ‘I thought I could trust that dog with my life and it took my daughter’s life.’
