A man left his pet dogs to starve to death in a flat resulting in one of the desperate animals cannibalising another.
Paul Wynne, 41, appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court this afternoon, Wednesday, May 31 after he pleaded guilty to charges regarding the treatment of animals in his care. The court heard how two Merseyside Police officers, named as Lomax and Cohen, attended an address on Rockford Avenue, Kirkby, on October 29 last year after concerns had been raised about occupant Wynne.
Neighbours had complained about a bad smell of decay coming from the flat and "maggots coming through the ceiling of the flat below". After officers gained entry they found no sign of human life, but upon examination of the property found the skeletal remains of three dogs in an advanced state of decomposition.
