Marshall and Millions, two Staffordshire bull terriers, were fatally shot after officers were called to reports of a woman and her dog being attacked by another dog in East London on May 7.

The owner of the animals, Louie Turnbull, was charged with being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control and possessing a dog while disqualified to do so on May 9.

The 46-year-old appeared in court that day, where he pleaded not guilty to the first charge and guilty to the second. He is set to appear in court again next month.
