A couple have appeared in court accused of animal cruelty after a dog was found dead in a suitcase on the banks of the River Mersey.
Chantelle Duvall-Gregory and Christy Carl Hewitt are alleged to have beaten and abused their dog Snoop over an eight month period at the home they shared on Winfield Green in Garston.
Liverpool Magistrates’ Court heard this afternoon that Snoop, a Malinois or Belgian Shepherd, also didn’t have an adequate diet and that Duvall-Gregory, 20, and Hewitt, 21, allegedly failed to take him to a vet despite him needing treatment.
