A HEARTBROKEN family has paid tribute to a “kind hearted” man who was mauled to death by four dogs including two banned XL Bullies.
Nicholas Glass, 32, was found dead in the garden of a relative’s property on Hereford Close in Rednal, Birmingham, in the early hours of August 21.
It’s believed up to four dogs were present at the time he was attacked.
A post-mortem has since revealed he died as a result of dog bite injuries, cops said.
Two of the dogs were seized by police at the scene and the remaining pair were found following a two day hunt.
In a statement his family said: “In Nicholas we’ve lost a loving son, brother and uncle who was adored by all of his family and friends.
“He was kind hearted, caring and compassionate and he’d do anything for anyone.
“We are devastated at his loss and we all miss him desperately.”
West Midlands Police said tests have now confirmed two of the dogs were XL Bullies and neither have a certificate of exemption.
All four of the dogs remained in secure kennels, police added.
A force spokesperson said: “Our enquiries into Nicholas’ death continue, and all four of the dogs remain in our secure kennels.”
Anyone with information is still urged to contact police via Live Chat online or by calling 101 quoting log 51 of August 21.
