Children playing hide-and-seek in a quiet Coventry street expected little more than an afternoon adventure. Instead, they uncovered what neighbours are now calling a 'garden of horrors', where the remains of 16 cats were pulled from a deep abandoned pond behind an empty home.
The discovery in Howcotte Grove on 17 May has shaken residents across the area and triggered an investigation involving the RSPCA and West Midlands Police, when one child saw a single dead cat floating in murky water. Volunteers spent hours dragging the pond for remains.
