Earlier today, an inquest into the death of mum Nicola Bulley who disappeared while walking her dogs found that she drowned after accidentally falling into a river.
A dog attack on a nine-month-old baby resulted in serious injuries.
Around 2 PM yesterday, the infant was attacked at a residence in Lime Avenue, Aldingbourne, a community in West Sussex.
Five miles to the east of Chichester, at Aldingbourne, the dog was taken into custody.
The infant was transported to the hospital with significant but not thought to be life-threatening injuries, according to a spokesman for Sussex Police.
‘Officers have seized the dog, and an investigation into the circumstances of the incident is underway.’
In West Sussex, a 400-year-old hotel that is supposed to have been housing Ukrainian immigrants has been completely destroyed by fire.
Early this morning, firefighters were summoned to the Angel Hotel and another building in Midhurst, West Sussex.
It’s believed that shortly after one in the morning, fire started in the nearby North Street structure before spreading to the top.
Hilton Holloway, a resident, reported that about 30 individuals, some of them were children, were evacuated from the motel.

‘There were a number of Ukrainian refugees in the hotel, which had 15 rooms,’ he said.
‘I spoke to one young woman who seemed relatively calm.’
Mr Holloway, who lives on the other side of North Street, awoke to the blaze and rushed outside.
Pictures taken by him show the spread of the flames from the adjoining building to the roof of the Angel Inn.

Meanwhile, Sussex Police, which sent officers to the scene, warned road closures would be in place in the local area.
Domestic abusers are being targeted by Sussex Police in the run-up to and during the men’s football World Cup in Qatar.
As part of the force’s “proactive” response, 49 suspects were arrested the week before the event, on November 15, 16, and 17.
Domestic violence is more common during football tournaments, according to research.
Visits to high-risk individuals would also be carried out.
Domestic abuse, according to Det Supt Miles Ockwell, has “no excuse.”
“While figures may show that domestic abuse increases during football tournaments, there should be no suggestion that this could be used as a defence, or a reason, for perpetrators,” he said.
Officers will conduct safeguarding visits with specialist support workers to people known to be at high risk of domestic abuse, particularly around England games when tensions may be increased.
As we cheer for our teams, there are many women & children who need support too. Football doesn’t cause domestic abuse but abuse can become more severe during the #WorldCup. Stand with survivors 👉 share this post. If you need support 👉 https://t.co/YsX33xQR31pic.twitter.com/NG1MbSeRH0
