He drove the dogs back up the stairs, past where Liam was on the landing and into a bedroom. All officers in the house were now vulnerable but PC Hird somehow managed to again drive the loose dog back into the bathroom. After this he fashioned a noose out of a dog lead, entered the room without a shield, and managed to lasso the dog, which was itself injured, and acting in a frightened way.
Liam was begging Oldham to let him leave the house, saying "I just want to go home. Can I just get my s*** and go?" But Liam would never leave the house alive. Armed with an axe, Oldham launched an unimaginably brutal attack.
