'UK Cat Killer still out there' having mutilated 'at least 200' since police closed case

The infamous UK Cat Killer is still at large, five-and-a-half years after the investigation was closed by the police, according to the charity that helped with the case.

The fiend - formerly known as the Croydon Cat Killer, and then subsequently the M25 Cat Killer - drew international attention after a spate of acute mutilations with similar characteristics.

Cats would be found decapitated with their tails cut off. Both cuts would be incredibly clean, and there would be no blood present. Some time later - even a few days later - the head or tail would reappear in the exact same location to where the body was found. Hundreds of cases were reported in just three years, from 2015.
