<p>The man believed to be the owner of the dog which mauled to death a woman at her home has been arrested, police said.</p>
<p>Alex Blackburn-Smith had been urgently sought by police following the victim&#8217;s death on Thursday night at a house on Demesne Road, Wallington, south London. She was named locally as Barbara Williams.</p>
<p>The Belgian mastiff, described by one officer as large and ferocious, was shot dead by police marksmen.</p>
<p>A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: &#8220;A 34-year-old man has this evening attended a south London police station and has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and suspicion of cultivating cannabis.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sources confirmed that the arrested man was Blackburn-Smith.</p>
<p>The Metropolitan Police spokesman said the victim was thought to be aged in her 50s.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;A post-mortem will be scheduled in due course. We await next of kin, and formal identification.</p>
<p>&#8220;An inquest will open and adjourn in due course. Armed police destroyed the dog &#8211; believed to be a Belgian mastiff &#8211; and one puppy has been removed from the property.</p>
<p>&#8220;Detectives from Sutton borough are investigating.&#8221;</p>
