Two cats and a fox found beheaded in the Crystal Palace triangle early in the morning of Monday 18 January 2016 which have been linked to this case.
A fox tail found on Davidson Road, which has been placed in a garden, was inconclusive but given the deliberate placement of the tail, is considered to be a victim.
Leo found deceased in Sutton on 22 January 2016, a week after he disappeared, confirmed as a victim.
A red possibly Burmese cat found in South Croydon, confirmed as a victim.
42 other historic cases in Croydon and the outskirts of the Borough in the last two years and we have reports of other cases going back to 2008.

Not nice this. Loads of posters up all over Croydon town centre. A natural stepping stone to becoming a Tory MP.
 
Two very recent ones have been in Sutton (Chaucer Gardens and Benhill Wood Road).

I've been hiding from this one because animal cruelty freaks me but this is getting really serious.

One of the cats hobbled back with 'sticky stuff' round his neck. Then he died... Wonder what the stickiness might have been?
 
It's very disappointing that the police aren't showing much interest, especially if incidents are increasing. I'm sure this behaviour mostly doesn't lead to moving onto humans but you'd at least want him on the watch list, I'd have thought, even if you don't care about the cats.
 
The police are showing an interest - the situation is under investigation. However, the details are not being publically discussed to avoid prejudicing any possible court proceedings.

Is this something you know?

I was talking to the people who put out the above release ad they seemed desperate for information still.

Bollocks, the Tories wouldn't give a stuff. Animals and those who care for them aren't normally yer 'natural Tories' unless we are talking expensive horses.

Even with an expensive horse, they'd be happy to shoot it if it went lame and outlived its usefulness to them. At least happier than with the idea of looking after it and making it comfortable for the rest of its life, that would be the equine equivalent of being 'on benefits'.
 
I came across a headless cat while jogging in addiscome.
Quite a whole ago now. Was just left across the road from the lady it belonged to.

Can you message the mobile number on the SNARL Facebook page with the details?

They are working with the police to build history/profile.

I think it is a time for everyone to become sleuths and just stop this awfulness! :facepalm::(

I get the impression that no interest could be enough for Boudicca and Tony.

Not saying it shouldn't be investigated at all - but I picture them calling me the third or fifth time in a day, and having dark thoughts...

He does make a serious point in that people like this are often known to develop their hobby on animals before extending it to creatures higher up the food chain.

People, for instance.
 
The vast majority of serial killers (and often serial rapists) have history of cruelty to animals. They also have histories of cruelty to people too, before the actual acts of murder begin.

That sad, plenty of people are cruel to animals without extending to people. He'll be in either one group or the other.

Based on my reading of this sort of crime, it'll either be someone who is psychotic, or it'll be a sexual psychopath or a sadistic psychopath. Either way, you have very limited ability for empathy if you are torturing animals so routinely. The other disturbing part is that they often leave the cat where the owner will see it, implying a clear intent to disturb the owner, which again would imply some sort of "kick", sexual or otherwise.

If they are non-psychotic, I bet you they will seem as normal and average as anyone else. The personality that gets like this is deeply disturbed but otherwise normal functioning.

needs catching quick.
