Alleged Toa Payoh cat killer and abuser charged with torturing sixth cat
A man who allegedly killed a cat and stabbed four more in Toa Payoh was charged on July 16 with torturing one more cat in the vicinity. Ryan Tan Yi Bin, 26, was in a common corridor at Block 15 Lorong 7 Toa Payoh on March 13 when he allegedly abused the light-brown cat. He allegedly dragged it via its tail, slammed it against a wall three times, and then let it fall to the floor. This act caused the cat to bleed from the mouth and nose. Court documents did not disclose if the cat survived. With this additional animal cruelty charge on July 16, the Singaporean is now accused of abusing six cats in total. Tan is said to have stabbed four of them. He was at Block 38 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh on Sept 21, 2024, when he allegedly stabbed a ginger and white cat, causing a wound that was about 5cm long. The next day, he purportedly stabbed three more cats - one at Block 36 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh and two at Block 200 Toa Payoh North. Court documents did not disclose details about the weapons purportedly used or if these four cats survived the alleged attacks. According to court records, Tan has been remanded since March 14 - one day after he allegedly tortured the sixth cat. He has not been offered bail since. His case will be heard again on Aug 20. He was handed his first charge of animal cruelty on Oct 8, 2024, involving a cat called Field Field. On Oct 7 that year, he allegedly kicked the cat, repeatedly stamped on its head inside a lift, and threw it down from the 34th floor of Block 78 Lorong Limau, near Whampoa Road, killing it. First-time offenders convicted of animal cruelty can be jailed for up to 18 months and fined up to $15,000. Repeat offenders can be jailed for up to three years and fined up to $30,000.
