A Palm Bay resident, Michele Mink-kewley, is reeling from a devastating discovery after her beloved cat, Manny, was found brutally killed with his head removed and tail stripped. The heartbreaking incident has prompted an investigation by local authorities.
Michele, who had cared for three-year-old Manny since he was a kitten, noticed he hadn’t returned home on Sunday evening. Worried, she searched for him late into the night and continued her efforts the next morning. A neighbor eventually informed her that Manny had been found dead in their garden, placed there by unknown individuals.
The discovery was horrific: Manny had been decapitated, and his tail stripped of flesh and fur. Distraught, Michele took Manny to Briar House vets, where it was confirmed that the injuries were inflicted by human hands, ruling out animal involvement like foxes.
The incident has been reported to the police, who are investigating the circumstances surrounding Manny’s death. They have requested Manny’s DNA to aid in their inquiries and are urging anyone with information or CCTV footage from the area to come forward.
Michele, deeply shaken by the loss of Manny, refuses to let the matter rest. She is determined to seek justice for her beloved pet and raise awareness about such acts of cruelty. She has also reached out to organizations like SLAIN (South London Animal Investigation Network) for support in understanding and addressing animal mutilations.
Kent Police have acknowledged the seriousness of the case and are actively pursuing leads. They encourage anyone with relevant information to contact them directly.
The community has rallied around Michele during this difficult time, offering support and solidarity as she seeks answers and justice for Manny’s senseless death.
