Boy, 17, tortured kittens ‘to reduce urge to murder people'
A 17-year-old boy has been detained for the 'sadistic' torture and killing of two kittens found mutilated in a wooded area in north-west London. A court was told the teenager wrote in notes found on his phone that he wanted to murder a human, and that he had killed cats, skinning, strangling and stabbing them, to reduce his homicidal urges. He showed no reaction as was sentenced, and a judge told him the killings were 'without a doubt the most awful offences against animals I have seen in this court'. At Highbury Corner magistrates' court, district judge Hina Rai sentenced him to a 12-month detention and training order. The court heard the teenager had also dreamed of killing a person and 'getting away with murder'. The kittens were found cut open with ropes attached to them near Ickenham Road, Ruislip, on May 3. Knives, blowtorches and scissors were also found at the scene. 'Something horrific down there' A member of the public who found them warned another passer-by not to go down the footpath because 'there is something horrific down there'. Earlier a passer-by had seen the boy holding a black animal carrier with netting at the end which was 'moving slightly as if something live was inside it', the court heard. The boy, along with a 17-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, previously pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to the animals by mutilating and killing them. The pair also each admitted one count of possession of a knife at Ruislip Golf Course. The girl has yet to be sentenced. Judge Rai told the boy that his actions were 'extensively planned' and 'clearly premeditated'. She told him: 'You said sorry in your (police) interview but reports also show that you struggle to show empathy and realise that the kittens would suffer. 'It seems you chose the kittens because they have emotion and you would have power over them.' Killer researched 'killing a homeless person' The court was told the youth wrote in notes on his phone: 'I really wanted to murder someone. Every day I was researching how to get way with murder. 'I have come close. I have killed cats to reduce my urges. I have skinned, strangled and stabbed cats.' The boy, who the court was told may have undiagnosed ADHD and autism, had no previous convictions. Valerie Benjamin, prosecuting, told the court the boy's actions 'showed a degree of planning in terms of looking for animals and researching in terms of killing animals and his desire to go on to killing humans and how it would be to get away with murder and killing a homeless person'. His horrific crimes were not 'spur of the moment' but involved planning in 'finding the animals, taking them to a public place and killing them in such a sadistic manner'. Ms Benjamin told the court he gave police a prepared statement saying he was sorry for what he had done and took responsibility, adding: ' He said he suffered depression, anxiety, hallucinations and self-harm.'

World Rugby gives Dan Sheehan a four-match ban after Tom Lynagh hit
British and Irish Lions hooker Dan Sheehan has been suspended for four matches following an illegal clearout on Australia's Tom Lynagh during Saturday's third Test in Sydney. The ban can be reduced to three games if the Ireland and Leinster player successfully completes a coaching intervention course. The incident, where Sheehan's elbow appeared to make contact with Lynagh's head, went unpunished during the match but was retrospectively cited. World Rugby 's independent review committee deemed Sheehan's actions reckless, involving head contact and a high degree of danger. Sheehan, who was captaining the Lions at the time, has accepted the sanction, although he did not agree that foul play occurred or warranted the citing.
