An infant dies in the hospital a month in the wake of being assaulted by his parents' dogs

A newborn baby died a month after being mutilated by his parents' dogs.

Reuben McNulty was only one month old when he was attacked in the early hours of Sunday, November 18 at the family home in the village of Yaxley, near Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, England.

His parents, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, called Fizzy and Dotty, attacked him. He died in the hospital on Thursday, almost 4 weeks after the dog's attack.

The child's parents, Dan McNulty, 31, and Amy Litchfield, 28, were arrested on suspicion of child neglect and released on bail. Detectives say that the baby's death is not being treated as a suspect.

The dogs have already been slaughtered.
