A cat killer who slit his pet's throat after breaking her leg 'in a fit of rage' has been sentenced to prison. Adam Alkour had taken in six-year-old cat Darwin after her previous owners were no longer able to care for her.
However, in a fit of anger during a mental health crisis, he struck the animal so hard that he broke her leg. After not being able to get a vet appointment straight away, the 32-year-old feared a vet would realise he caused the injury.
Two days later, he decided to kill her and cut the animal's throat using a razor, Chronicle Live reports. After she bled to death, Alkour walked six miles to bury her - but had to return again the next day because the ground was frozen.
