A teenager has been found dead in a house in Manchester by police who say they were confronted by a number of "aggressive and out of control" dogs.

The body of the girl, believed to be 15 years old, was found at the property in the Atherton area of the city.
Armed police killed four dogs, while a fifth was securely contained.
Superintendent Mark Kenny, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family of the girl who has tragically lost her life.
"I understand this is an extremely distressing incident for all concerned, including the community, and we will work hard to establish the full circumstances that led to this tragedy.
"There will be a significant police presence in the area, which will remain this afternoon and evening. We will be there to carry out an investigation and address any concerns residents may have.
"It would be too early for us to speculate about what has happened, and further information will be released when it becomes available."
