The chilling moment a man killed a beloved family cat in a school car park was caught on camera. Thanks to the CCTV evidence, Tomasz Zimny of St Paul's Road, Cheltenham has received a suspended prison sentence and a lifetime ban from owning cats.
The 40-year-old killed much-loved family pet Millie in the Cleeve School sports complex car park by swinging her over his head and slamming her into the floor. After stepping back from the injured 12-year-old white and black cat, he can be seen on CCTV footage returning to kick Mollie before driving off.
The incident, which took place on March 17, 2022, was originally treated as a dog attack by Millie's family, who had her from a kitten, after being traced through her microchip. However, when the headteacher of Cleeve School was made are of aware, he reviewed the car park's CCTV of the area, saw Zimny's cruel and violent act against Millie and contacted the police and RSPCA.
