The mother of a nine-year-old boy who was killed by a dog in a caravan has appeared in court charged with neglecting a young child.

Frankie Macritchie died from multiple dog bites on 13 April 2019 at Tencreek Holiday park near Looe.

Tawnee Willis, 31, from Plymouth, did not enter a plea at Bodmin Magistrates Court.

Sadie Totterdell, 29, from Plymouth, did not make a plea to owning a bulldog which was dangerously out of control.

Both were bailed to appear at Truro Crown Court on 17 April.
