A Llanelli mother has spoken of her shock at seeing a decapitated cat hanging from her letterbox!
Kristie Carrington, a mum of two who lives in Als Street, Llanelli came upon this shocking sight last Thursday morning. She said:
“It was approx 9.20 when I came downstairs, I was shocked and horrified by the site of the cats paws in the letterbox and the smell.”
“A police woman was telling me ‘don’t be alarmed’.
“I opened the front door to speak to the officer and then I saw the cat hanging there, I didn’t notice at that point that the head was missing.
“My partner and I do not mix with anybody as we keep ourselves to ourselves and we are only ever with our 2 children. “No one comes to our house, so we don’t know who or why anyone would do such a terrible thing.”
“I felt sick at the sight and smell and am just so glad my kids didn’t see it. “
“I do not feel safe to be honest if someone can kill and behead a poor defenceless cat, what else are they capable of?”
“I don’t like being in the house now and can’t have any windows open as I’m too scared to. I’m a nervous wreck as I have hardly slept since the incident and can’t even relax in my own home. “
“I just try to be out as much as possible now, it’s a very horrible thing to not feel safe in your own home. “
“That is the one place you’d expect everyone to feel safe and secure, I’m even scared for my children as well”
“If anyone saw anything at all, no matter how small or irrelevant they might think it is then please just speak to the Police.”
One witness wrote on Facebook:
“I walked past and saw him; the police had already been called! Whoever did this should have the same done to them!!!!!!! Poor poor cat xxx”
“Took me till I got to the end of the road to take in what I’d seen and the image has stayed with me all day!
“Absolutely horrific!”
“Really hope they catch who did it! Thank god the children didn’t see it!”
Sergeant Justin Evans of Dyfed Powys Police said:
“This incident has been reported to us and we are investigating, anyone with information which could assist our inquiries should contact officers at Llanelli police on 101”.
