Man killed pet dog and buried body in Broadway garden

A man killed his pet dog and then buried the animal in a rhubarb patch.

David Betley, of Broadway, Worcestershire, killed his 17-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier Pincher on 21 February in what the RSPCA said was an unnecessary and shocking act.

Witnesses called the RSPCA and police officers dug up Pincher’s body, which was described as being in a “poor condition” with weight loss and osteoarthritis.

Betley, 58, of Mill Street, admitted not getting veterinary treatment for Pincher and pleaded guilty to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. He was sentenced to eight months in prison.
