Man jailed for stabbing wife's cat

[super jumbe]

A drunken man who stabbed to death his wife's cat out of spite during a row has been jailed.

Alcoholic Andrew Beese, 60, used a knife to kill five-year-old cat Koko before throwing the pet's body over his garden fence.

Beese, whose wife was in court to support him, was jailed for 14 weeks by JPs at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court after admitting a charge of causing unnecessary suffering.

The defendant, of Bisley Old Road, Stroud, Gloucestershire, showed no emotion as he was led away to begin his sentence.

His wife, Helen, was not in the courtroom to see her husband jailed as she had been asked to leave by the chairman of the bench, Peter Langman, after repeatedly interrupting as he passed sentence.

As she was escorted out, Mrs Beese told a security guard: "He's a sick man. He is bipolar. I've been trying to get him help for years. I didn't want this. I never wanted to press charges." She added: "My husband is a sick man. It was his illness that made him do what he did and I will say that until the day I die."
