Cat Found Decapitated In Co Armagh
Police have launched an investigation after a cat was found decapitated in Co Armagh.
The pet, named Mylo, was found dead in the Ballyoran Park area of Portadown on Sunday, 05 November.
Officers believe the pet was killed by a firework or banger.
Its owners described Mylo as "very trusting and friendly".
A PSNI spokesperson said: "If indeed this was a deliberate act, someone out there knows. The sort of people who would be playing with fireworks will not be doing so alone. Someone somewhere witnessed this. Someone somewhere knows who is responsible.
"If that is you, and you're reading this, look again at Mylo. Now imagine her decapitated and without her legs. That is what a human being has potentially done to her. If you know anything, or saw anything, don't sit silently, call us. You can get us on 101 or you can pass information completely anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
