A man whose dog killed five-year-old Ellie Lawrenson has a conviction for drug dealing, it has been reported.
Kiel Simpson, 23, who is Ellie's uncle, was sentenced to 21 months in a young offenders' institution in 2003 for possessing £24,000 worth of cannabis with intent to supply.
He pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court after police discovered 18 blocks of cannabis resin, weighing 19.8 kilos, in the boot of his Volkswagen Golf.
A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said she was unable to comment on the conviction, which was reported in the Daily Mirror, due to data protection rules.
On Tuesday it emerged Mr Simpson could be prosecuted under the Dangerous Dogs Act after it was confirmed his dog was a pit bull terrier type.
His niece Ellie was mauled to death at her grandmother's home in St Helens, Merseyside, in the early hours of New Year's Day. She was staying there while her parents, Lyndsey Simpson and Darren Lawrenson, aged 24 and 30, celebrated the new year.
Members of Ellie's family on Tuesday night wept and hugged each other as they laid flowers at the police cordon outside the house where the attack took place.
The dog, a one-year-old male named Reuben, was owned by Mr Simpson, who lived in the same house. The animal was shot dead at the scene by police marksmen. Its corpse was examined by a dog expert from the Metropolitan Police, who confirmed that the animal was a “pit bull terrier type”.
Pit bulls are one of four breeds banned under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act, and anyone proved to have flouted the law could be jailed for six months.
Superintendent John Ward, of Merseyside Police, said: “An assessment has been made by a recognised expert on the Dangerous Dogs Act, from the Metropolitan Police, and he has confirmed that the dog was a pit bull terrier type. The results of this post-mortem will now be included in the investigation and we will be speaking to all family members about the circumstances leading up to this tragedy.”
