Harassed girl found a dead cat on her door

A dead cat was hung on the front door of an 18-year-old girl’s home by a man who texted and phoned her hundreds of times in a campaign of harassment.

Det Sgt Seán Leahy said Arturas Curbelevas, aged 25, of Wood Quay, Bailick Rd, Midleton, Co Cork, believed that he loved the girl, that she loved him, and that they should be in a relationship.

The teenager felt sorry for the Lithuanian because he was an only child and his parents were dead, leaving him with no family in Ireland or in Lithuania.
