PC bitten by large dog as police began making arrests after death of Lee McKnight
Lee McKnight
A police constable was bitten on the arm by a large dog at the Carlisle house where Lee McKnight had been brutally attacked, as police began arresting suspects in the hours after his death.
As the prosecution neared the end of its case in the trial of six people accused of Mr McKnight’s murder, a list of agreed facts information compiled with the consent of all legal counsel was read to jurors.
These stated that previously presented photographs and maps, along with plans of the field and riverbank close to the water in which Mr McKnight’s body was found just before 5.30am on July 24 last year “accurately reflect what they purport to show”.
A drug-dealing “middle man” has told jurors a knuckleduster-wearing teenager attacked Lee McKnight with punches and kicks, called for his dad to help in the aftermath and objected to an ambulance being called.
