Man who allegedly killed three cats in the washing machine detained in probe.
PETALING
JAYA - A man accused of killing three cats by putting them in a washing machine
at a laundromat in Kepong, Selangor has been remanded for four days.
The
Malaysian Veterinary Services Department (DVS) said the suspect would be
remanded until Thursday (July 16) to facilitate the investigation into the incident on Sunday.
"Cat
carcasses have been sent to the Salak Tinggi Veterinary Laboratory for
autopsy," the department said in a statement on Tuesday. His statement was
released following the appearance of a video showing the suspect putting the
three cats in the washing machine at 12.15am on Sunday. The video went viral on
social media and drew angry comments.
The statement said that the Selangor DVS enforcement officer arrested the suspect
on Sunday. The Selangor Selayang Court has issued a four-day remand order, from
July 13 to 16.
DVS
urges the public not to speculate on cases that could jeopardize its
investigation.
An investigation is underway under Subsection 29 (1) (e) of the Animal Welfare Act
2015 (Act 772) for brutally making the three cats sick and suffering, he added.
