Rabbit killer on the loose in Germany

Police are investigating a spate of gruesome rabbit killings which has left more than 40 pets dead.

The victims have been attacked in their cages and many have been decapitated and bled dry.



One theory is that the animals, which all lived in Germany's Ruhr district, were targeted by Satanists.

Sabine Riede, head of a group which monitors religious cults, said: "The fact that blood appears to have been deliberately drained from the dead rabbits could indicate that Satanists were gathering material for a deadly ritual."
