Burglars who beheaded cat get three years

TWO burglars who beheaded a cat and cooked a live mouse in a microwave were jailed for three years each yesterday.

Steven Browitt and Andrew Maloney used a blunt axe to behead Greta, a blind 19-year-old tortoiseshell cat, during a break-in in Wigan, Greater Manchester, last August.

They left her severed head on a living room coffee table for owner David Byrne to find when he returned home.
