Brighton Cat Killer jailed!!!!

[Allergictoironing]

Remember how the police said it was a fox? Well they've caught & jailed the guy who killed 9 cats & badly injured 7 others.

BBC News

Let's hope there are some big, violent cat lovers with nothing to lose in prison ...

I was saying on the other thread, his sentence isn't nearly long enough. Personally, I think they should throw away the key.

Fantastic news !! 🎉🍾🥂

Was this the guy who cut paws off etc?

I thought there were 10's if not hundreds of cats killed?

You may be thinking of the Croydon cat killer. This utter scumbag knifed them but didn't dismember them afterwards.

My cat is snuggled up next to me and I could cry just thinking about it. Utter bastard

You have to wonder what else he's done. Geez, where does it come from? that kind of thinking.

So glad he's been imprisoned.

Ugh god this guy disemboweled them? Wtf.
Sure he'd have gone on to kill a person.poor cats and owners :(

So he’ll be out in a few years to continue? No manor of death would be painful enough for this evil individual

Wish he had got longer. Hope he dies a long and painful miserable death.

You have to wonder what's wrong with people like this. I've often thought that someone who could hurt an animal like this could easily harm a child. Total lack of empathy is extremely dangerous.

So is this another cat killer? Or is it the Croydon cat killer I’m confused

It’s fantastic that this guy was caught and sentenced.

Unfortunately, it’s not the same one as the case where the deaths have been put down to killings by fox. That case is/was the Croydon Cat Killer. Way more cats killed. And I’m still so cross that they’ve put it all down to foxes. Basically, they can’t find the killer and don’t want to spend more time on it - easier to write it off as foxes.

At least this sicko has been taken off the streets for a while. Although I’d have preferred his sentence to mean he was incarcerated in a zoo’s lion enclosure. See how tough he is then, plus save taxpayers money!

It's excellent they've caught him but I hope they don't just send him to prison.
He needs a psychological assessment and appropriate action; treatment or a secure unit. He must be very ill or psychopathic , no one does something like that for no reason and prison won't make that urge go away it very likely will make him worse.
All I felt was what's going to happen when he's out on licence in a year.

I hope he's "violated" every single day.

You don't tend to see this level of gleeful sadism and baying for extrajudicial blood on MN threads about actual murderers.

He is an actual murderer!

@IsadoraQuagmire

He is an actual murderer!

Is he? It only mentions the animal attacks in the news article. Still, I don't remember having seen any threads concerning someone who "just" murdered human beings with such a high percentage of posts including that kind of statement.

Don't get me wrong, he's despicable and deserves his punishment — I just found this thread quite disturbing.

Yes, wishing sexual violence on anyone is deeply unpleasant, no matter what they’ve done.

Not everyone places a lower value on a cat's life than on a human life.

…okay then.

Even if the victims in this case were human, I would be surprised see such a high proportion of posts on a MN thread yearning for this kind of extra punishment. Daily Mail, maybe. MN is usually a little more measured.
