Teenagers 'enjoyed' cat cruelty (update)

Sentencing has been adjourned on two teenagers who "enjoyed" throwing a cat from a 60ft balcony in Birmingham.

The 16 and 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had earlier admitted animal cruelty.

A 14-year-old, who filmed the ordeal in Druids Heath, has admitted aiding and abetting the cruelty. The case on all three was adjourned until 1 August.

Christopher Lees, 18, of Wilsford Close, Druids Heath, has admitted cruelty and may be jailed on 14 July.

The cat, called Kharlo, owned by a local student, was put down by a vet after suffering brain damage and multiple fractures during the ordeal last October.
