A man has been charged over the death of another man who died after suffering injuries in a dog attack.

Wayne Stevens, 51, died after the attack at a house in Cameron Road, Derby, in the early hours of Saturday.

Gary Stevens, 53, has been charged with being the person in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death.

Mr Stevens, of Cameron Road, Derby, is due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on Monday.
