SEGAMAT — Police here arrested an elderly man, who is in his 70s, for the alleged abuse of his neighbour’s pet cat in Taman Yayasan here yesterday.
Segamat police chief Superintendent Ahmad Zamry Marinsah said the neighbour, who had earlier lodged a missing cat report, had lodged a report against her neighbour, alleging that the man had taken and abused her pet.
He said the report was made after the neighbour, a local woman who is in her 20s, discovered a video footage of her Turkish-breed cat being physically abused by her elderly neighbour that was earlier disseminated on social media sites.
