Shocking moment vile woman batters French bulldogs with spade after keeping TWENTY sick animals locked up
THIS is the shocking moment a vile woman battered her French bulldogs with a spade after keeping 20 animals locked up. Elizabeth Perrin was captured beating the defenceless animals in the garden of her home in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester. Advertisement 3 Elizabeth Perrin was filmed hitting her dogs with a spade The sick 52-year-old was then heard shouting " next one" as she continued the horrific rampage. One of the dogs was knocked to the ground and another had to be put down after suffering gash wounds. Perrin was also caught on video hitting the animals with a broom in a year-long campaign of abuse. When RSPCA officers attended the home, they discovered 20 dogs that had been kept in cramped conditions. Advertisement Read more news One of the French bulldogs, named Wizza, was found lying on the sofa injured. Inspector Ryan King said: "There was a bad smell coming from him, on closer inspection I noticed a number of puncture wounds on his front legs, there was some blood around his ears and further puncture wounds around his groin." Wizza was taken to a vet but had to be put to sleep two days later to end his suffering. Perrin and her partner Trevor Hague both appeared at Tameside Magistrates' Court charged with abuse offences. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Exclusive The mum admitted causing unnecessary suffering to three dogs by inflicting blunt force trauma and physical violence. She also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure their needs were met by housing them away from other animals. But magistrates decided against banning her from keeping animals because her two children have special needs, which benefit from having support dogs. The court was told Inspector King was called to the home in November 2021 following reports a number of dogs were fighting. Advertisement Perrin and Hague told him they had 20 dogs in total and showed them around an open plan area where a number of the pets were kept. A month later, the officer was handed two videos - one showing Perrin hitting the dogs with a broom and another clip of Hague kicking one of the animals. The vile couple claimed they 'only hit or kick the dogs to split them up when fighting" and signed two of the pets over to the RSCPA. But Inspector King received a video a month later of Perrin smacking the dogs with a spade. Advertisement He said: "On the first swing I could hear a dull thud as she made contact with something. On the second swing there was more of a harsh sound and a slight sound of a dog yelping. 'She swings the spade down on three dogs that are in the corner, hitting two of the dogs on the head. One is hit with such force that is knocked off its feet onto its back and struggles to get up for a second. 'She then turns around, pauses, looks round at the dogs and shouts 'next one'.' A veterinary expert said the dogs would have been 'caused to suffer' from blunt force trauma. Advertisement He added the welfare needs of a number of other dogs kept by Perrin had not been met because they were not sufficiently separated from each other. Perrin was made subject to a 12-month community order, a 16-week night-time curfew and ordered to pay £700 costs. Inspector King said after the case: 'Having to see that video of someone deliberately inflicting pain on an animal with a weapon was awful. 'There is no excuse for this behaviour towards an animal. It really does defy belief that someone could behave in this way. Advertisement "Animals deserve to be shown kindness and respect.' 3 Some of the dogs had visible injuries 3 Perrin also kept the animals in cramped conditions Advertisement

‘Drug smuggler' Charlotte May Lee weeps in court as she faces a YEAR in Sri Lanka hell jail before she's even sentenced
THE Brit accused of trying to smuggle drugs worth £1.2m into Sri Lanka wept as she was formally remanded into a top-security 'hell' prison today. Emotional Charlotte May Lee, 21, was told she may not be sentenced for another 12 months.

After her first court appearance she will no longer be allowed to use her phone or contact her loved ones. A source told The Sun: 'Charlotte is crying a lot. The penny has dropped and she is more aware of her perilous situation. 'The jail is not fit for a rat to live in. And she has been told to get used to it. Advertisement read more on charlotte 'She is a total mess. She hates the food, which is only rice with the occasional hot curry. 'The prison is so full that she has been lying in the corridor on a concrete floor with no pillow or sheet.' The Sun can reveal a mystery British man was waiting for Charlotte when she arrived on a flight to Colombo from Thailand last Monday. She was nicked when cops found a record amount of deadly super-strong synthetic cannabinoid Kush. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Exclusive A source said: 'Charlotte had been going on about this man she was madly in love with. She met him in Bangkok. He was then waiting for her on touchdown in Sri Lanka. 'She obviously never got to meet him when she was arrested. Who is this man - the police should be investigating him. We understand he has even been in touch with Charlotte behind bars. We worry she is somehow under his spell.' Brits accused of trying to smuggle drugs into the UK from abroad are being locked away for a long time Charlotte yesterday claimed the drugs - 25 times more potent than powerful opioid fentanyl - found in her suitcase were "planted" on her. The part-time beautician, of Chipstead in Surrey said she had "no idea" that there were drugs in her luggage when she left Bangkok. Advertisement She claimed: "I had never seen them before. I didn't expect it all when they pulled me over at the airport. I thought it was going to be filled with all my stuff. "I had been in Bangkok the night before and had already packed my clothes because my flight was really early. 7 Charlotte has been accused of trying to smuggle £1.2million worth of drugs into Sri Lanka Credit: Moyes 7 Charlotte formerly worked as an air stewardess Credit: Tim Stewart Advertisement "So I left my bags in the hotel room and headed for the night out. As they were already packed I didn't check them again in the morning." The young Brit believes the huge amount of illegal substances were planted in her luggage in a planned move by dangerous dealers in Southeast Asia. And Charlotte, a former TUI stewardess, has now said: "I know who did it." Charlotte said the jail shower is just a bucket of water with a broken TV the only activity available. Advertisement Another major issue the Brit, from Coulsdon, is facing is eating and keeping clean. Kush, a highly addictive synthetic drug, has claimed the lives of thousands in West Africa where it first appeared in 2022 - and is spreading globally at an alarming rate. The dirt-cheap drug is cut with an array of additives including acetone, the opioid tramadol and formalin, a toxic chemical commonly used to preserve bodies in mortuaries. 7 Charlotte May Lee is in jail in Sri Lanka Advertisement It comes as a friend of Charlotte's revealed she is aware of the similar case of Bella Culley - an 18-year-old arrested in Georgia who is also accused of drug smuggling. However, the two youngsters have never met, and Charlotte "doesn't know if there is any connection" to her own ordeal. Shocking images published by customs officials in Sri Lanka show how drugs had been allegedly stuffed into Charlotte's luggage in large vacuum-sealed bags. Bella's alleged stash was also discovered in stacked, airtight packages pointing to a similar-style operation. Advertisement And in another twist, the two had individually told their loved ones they planned on meeting a mystery man during their travels. Bella revealed to her family she was meeting an unknown man in the Philippines who had moved to the country from the North East. Sri Lanka's maximum security Welikada Prison is notoriously 'hellish', with 650 women in a ward designed for 150 cons. Riots have erupted due to poor conditions, including the sweltering heat.
