Four young friends will have to appear before the Linz Regional Court on Wednesday for animal cruelty. At the time of the crime, a 17-year-old allegedly suddenly got up during a social gathering and brutally killed the house cat “Karli” with a broom.
“What does a human have to do to steal an innocent cat from his home and then abuse and kill him?” This is what the owners of “Karli” wondered after the cat was found dead in a forest in Pabneukirchen. At that moment they did not yet know that the perpetrator came from their own four walls.
There should also be a video
Because the public prosecutor accuses the son of the house of the terrible act. On January 30 this year, the now 18-year-old was sitting with three friends (18 and 19 years old) in a social gathering – alcohol was also said to have been consumed – when he suddenly stood up and allegedly killed the cat with a broomstick. The three guests are also charged for not doing anything to stop it. There should also be a video of the dead animal.
Partly known
The remarkable thing is that the main perpetrator will receive the lowest possible sentence for animal abuse during the trial in Linz on Wednesday. Because he was still a minor when the crime occurred, he could face up to a year in prison if convicted. For his friends, the punishment range is twice as high. A number of suspects have confessed.
