Last December, neighbours alerted the police after hearing cries coming from his home. He was then taken into custody, tried, and sentenced to one month in prison.During their investigation, police learned of the dog's death, who had to be euthanised by a vet after being seriously injured. The animal was suffering from a very serious head injury, which, according to the vet, was not accidental.
