Teenage Couple Allegedly Kills 2 Kittens, Stuffs Them In Duffel Bag While Fleeing On London Streets; Police Release CCTV Video

In a deeply disturbing case of animal cruelty, a teenage couple is alleged to have tortured and killed two kittens in Ruislip, west London before stuffing their lifeless bodies into a duffel bag and fleeing the scene on foot.

London’s Metropolitan Police learned about the incident on May 3, following which they described it as a “distressing” act and initiated action.

The incident took place on Ickenham Road, where the young couple was last seen. In a bid to identify the suspects, the police force has released CCTV footage showing a teenage boy and girl walking down a suburban street.

Kittens allegedly killed, stuffed in bag

The visuals show the boy swinging a black duffel bag, which authorities sadly believe contained the dead kittens.

As the clip begins, the boy is seen carrying the bag by his side, walking alongside a girl in a white top and shoes. Moments later, the two are caught on camera running back the way they came, with the boy anxiously glancing over his shoulder as they flee.

Appeal for public help in identifying teens

“Do you recognise these two people? We are appealing for the public’s help to identify two teenagers who we want to speak to following the death of two kittens in Ruislip,” the Met Police posted on X, along with the video and a contact number "101".

The video has since been reshared over 500 times, with many condemning the brutal incident.

As of May 15, no arrests were made in the case.
