A Wythensawe woman has said she's "too scared" let her pets out after he cat was hanged from a tree in her neighbour's garden line "which had been knotted purposely".
The "utterly despicable" killing took place on June 21 while the vile killer is still on the loose due to the police drawing "a blank". Pet owner Tracy McCormick discovered the haunting scene after she was called to her neighbours' home.
She was escorted to the back garden, only to find 10-year-old jack "stiff with his tongue hanging out" and dangling from a washing line that was attached to a tree. Tracy believes the culprit seized the "loving" rescue cat as he was a timid animal and was wary around strangers.
