A VIGIL is set to be held in Basingstoke following the killing of two dogs in London.

Marshall and Millions tragic deaths have left many heartbroken, with the vigils being held to give people an opportunity to come together to remember their lives.

Marshall and Millions were two dogs which were gunned down by police in East London earlier this month. Organisers are calling on the Metropolitan Police officers involved to face criminal charges.

According to reports, the dogs allegedly attacked a woman and her dog.

Footage of the incident involving police trying to take the dogs away then surfaced on social media in which officers were seen pursuing the dog's owner Louie Turnbull, who was holding Marshall and Millions on a short lead alongside a canal.

The situation then appeared to escalate as Mr Turnbull was tasered to the floor before the animals were destroyed at the scene. In response to the incident, over 100 vigils will be held across the country, allowing people to remember and pay their respects.
