Reuben McNulty died in hospital after a dog attack at his home a month earlier

A baby boy who was attacked at his home by his parents' Staffordshire bull terrier died in hospital of 'catastrophic injuries', an inquest heard today.

Reuben McNulty was just five weeks old when he died at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on December 13 last year.

He was attacked at his home in Yaxley, Cambridgeshire, in the early hours of November 18 and admitted to hospital the same day.

David Heming, Cambridgeshire's senior coroner, said Reuben 'suffered catastrophic injuries ... as a result of being attacked by his parents' Staffordshire bull terrier at their home address'.

He said Reuben sustained a traumatic brain injury, with complications of renal failure and gastrointestinal failure.

'All these injuries are consistent with a dog attack,' he said.

He added: 'The events surrounding the tragic death of Reuben are clearly devastating for his parents and I would like to express my condolences and extend my sympathies towards them.'

The dogs, named Fizzy and Dotty, were destroyed following the attack in Cambridgeshire 

He opened the hearing in Huntingdon today and adjourned it for a full inquest on May 16 this year. 

The dogs, named Fizzy and Dotty, were seized by police and destroyed. A man and woman were arrested on suspicion of child neglect over the incident in Yaxley.

The pair - named locally as the boy's parents Dan McNulty, 31, and Amy Litchfield, 28, - were released under investigation.

The baby, believed to be just a few weeks old at the time, was taken to Peterborough City Hospital.

The newborn was then transferred to Addenbrooke's Hospital where he remained in a critical condition.

Following the incident, a man at the couple's flat who did not want to be identified, said: 'They're in bits, they're devastated.'

Miss Litchfield's father Peter said the baby was hurt in a 'freak accident' and insisted the pair, who are both unemployed, were good parents.

'They've done nothing wrong and the way it's being portrayed at the minute, they're horrible parents,' he said.

'They bloody aren't, they've been fantastic. People need to realise there's always two sides to the story.' 

A man who lives opposite the couple's flat claimed he told them to 'be careful' around the dogs after Reuben was born.

The man, who did not want to be named, said: 'He [Dan] was showing people his new baby because he was so proud of it.

'When he showed me the pictures, I said be careful because those dogs might not be used to the baby. I know what dogs are like when they get jealous.

'He said I will do. He said, 'Me and Amy were thinking about that anyway'. I can't work out what happened.'

Another neighbour described the dogs as 'vicious'. The man said: 'I have seen those dogs before and they are vicious and will show their teeth at anyone.' 

He told how he was woken by police sirens in the early hours of Sunday, November 18. 

'I was woken in the middle of the night to sirens and bright lights and I was worried,'he said.

'I went outside and there were seven police vehicles, two police vans an ambulance and the paramedics. The police brought a man and a woman out of the house in handcuffs.

'Straight away the ambulance left the house with a police escort. I knew then that someone must be very badly hurt.'

Reuben McNulty died in hospital after a dog attack at his home a month earlier

A baby boy who was attacked at his home by his parents’ Staffordshire bull terrier died in hospital of ‘catastrophic injuries’, an inquest heard today.
Reuben McNulty was just five weeks old...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
