David Hooi Yin Weng, 42, pleaded guilty to torturing the six-week-old female kitten on November 14 at his rented flat, according to The Straits Times. Police found the animal with its left eye protruding and bloodstains on the nostrils after an animal lover provided the tip-off. The kitten's injuries were so severe it had to be put to euthanasia. Pleading for leniency on Monday, Hooi said he made a " mistake " . Animal lover Ngian Mui Wah, who tipped off police, told the newspaper that Hoi had been previously seen torturing cats. Neighbours said they had seen dead cats along the common corridor on other occasions. 2006Times Internet Limited. All rights reserved.
