A family in Portsmouth have been left devastated after their pet dog was found murdered and dumped in their swimming pool. Sasha, a six-year-old Staffy was found by its owner Jacqueline Curley on Sunday afternoon as she removed the covers from the back garden pool – which is raised 4ft from the ground. The dog had disappeared a week ago from the 300ft-long back garden, which is surrounded by six foot fences in Southampton Road, Paulsgrove. What is remarkable about this terrible story is that the police are treating this incident extremely seriously - the area where the dog was found is being treated like a murder scene and forensic teams have spent hours at the house.
Mrs Curley, 51, said: ´When Sasha disappeared on Friday, we checked the pool and pulled the two covers over it. We scoured the local area, put out posters and knocked on all the neighbour´s doors.
´On Sunday morning I woke up and opened the curtains and noticed the top cover had been moved. I thought it was strange, but I forgot about it until about 3pm when I was taking the covers off with one of my friends so our kids could go for a swim.
´We pulled them back and I saw Sasha, she was face down and there was blood at the bottom of the pool.´ Mike Curley, 48, said the incident has shocked his family and Sasha´s daughter Shadow, three.
