'Brutal and wicked': Alloa man who tortured and killed kitten is jailed

Alloa Man Jailed for Torturing and Killing Kitten

Lewis Aitken, a 21-year-old man from Alloa, has been sentenced to four years in prison for torturing a kitten to death.

Aitken was also given a lifetime ban on keeping animals and a non-harassment order, prohibiting him from contacting his ex-partner for 10 years.

Given your appalling conduct, I see no valid reason why you should ever have access to another animal.

A sheriff described Aitken's actions as the most atrocious act of animal cruelty he had seen in 30 years in the criminal courts.
