Nurse who killed dog is ‘psychopathic’

A former mental health nurse who strangled and butchered a dog and fed it to a pet is psychopathic, a doctor has said.

Dominic O’Connor, aged 28, faces up to five years in prison. He used a lead to kill the animal in the North in December 2016.

He cooked its body and used it as pet food for his other dog, Shadow.
