Mosta residents today were still under shock at Monday’s gruesome discovery of a cat and dog dead and hanged near Mosta church.

The residents were eager to point out the site where the animals were found and voiced their hope that the perpetrators would be found and punished.

CCTV footage taken on the shows a man walking up to the corner of the Church, checking if there was anyone around, turning and going back, walking up a ramp and climbing up a sledge to hang the dead fox terrier.

This was the latest of a series of similar cases which started in 2011.
