Man in 40s thought to be behind deaths and mutilation of 250 cats as well as foxes all over countryThe first description has been released of a suspected serial cat killer who has eluded police for almost two years. He was originally known as the “Croydon cat killer”, but as bodies began to turn up in other areas of London and beyond the capital, the charity urged people to drop the label. He then became known as the “M25 cat killer” but attacks have since occurred as far afield as Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton and the Isle of Wight. The description of the individual believed to be behind all of the attacks has been published on the Snarl website. Snarl’s co-founder Tony Jenkins said the description had been shared with his organisation by Surrey police and was based on witnesses to three recent cat killings in Caterham, Surrey.
