A savage cat killer who cut his pet's throat and buried her to cover up the fact he'd broken her leg in a rage has been jailed.
Adam Alkour used a razor to kill six-year-old Darwin then after she bled to death he walked six miles to bury her. A court heard Alkour had taken over the care of the cat after her previous owners became unable to look after her.
But in a fit of anger during a mental health crisis he hit her so hard he broke her leg. Having been unable to get an appointment to take her to a vet straight away, he became worried a vet would realise what he had done so decided to kill her, two days after breaking her leg.
