A man used a razor blade to slit a cat’s throat after breaking its leg, before claiming he walked six miles in order to bury it. Adam Neil Alkour sliced the female cat’s throat with a razor blade in order to hide the fact he broke her leg a court heard on Friday.
The 32-year-old confessed to a friend what he’d done via text message, telling them he’d “freaked out” and was “on the verge of a nervous breakdown”. His friend subsequently contacted the RSPCA and Alkour was later questioned.
Alkour appeared at the court charged with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and two counts of a charge relating to failing to protect an animal from pain and providing veterinary care. The offences were committed between November 17 and 27 last year and he had pleaded guilty at a previous hearing, reported Chronicle Live.
