The Cat Killer that terrified London's Residents
The Cat Killer that terrified London’s Residents.
Okay I apologize for another London story, but you won’t regret it, this one is a little funny story.
Recently in 2015 the residents of Croydon area in London began having concerns about a cat killer that was killing and mutilating cats to finally leave them on the side of the roads.
Residents went to the local papers which ran a story about this mysterious “cat killer”, demanding local authorities to do something to stop him from killing more cats.
Newspapers even stated that it was just a matter of time before the cat killer turned his attention to humans.
The following months and years the police began investigating and gathering dead cats as evidence and for autopsies in an effort to catch the cat killer, by this time, renamed the “M25 Cat Killer”.
The M25 Cat Killer had expanded his killing spree as far as Manchester, killing an estimated hundred cats in a single year. The police began freaking out because they couldn’t find the cat killer.
Finally in 2018 the police announced that they had found the responsible of all the cat killing and mutilations. The famous M25 Cat Killer was - Cars and Foxes.
All the cat killings were simply cars that ran over them and sometimes foxes were responsible for mutilating them and dragging them to the side of the roads. It took the police and estimated two thousand hours of police work and about fife thousand dollars worth of cat autopsies in order to find the killer.
I guess the good news is that the police managed to close the case.
