A HALSTEAD woman whose dog attacked a three-year-old boy in August has been re-bailed by the police. 

Dexter Neal died after being bitten by an American bulldog while visiting a friend’s house on Parker Way.

The woman was initially arrested for allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control injuring a person, and bailed until Wednesday.

Officers will now carry out further enquiries until December 19, when she will have to answer bail again.
