#MostEvil | Sean William Clarke (previously Bushell-Clarke), born 4 June 1981, originally from Fazakerley, Liverpool, but as of 2022 living at 134 Cranborne Road, Wavertree, Liverpool L15 2HZ – stabbed a dog to death

Vicious dog killer Sean William Clarke, previously Sean Bushell-Clarke, only received a 5-year ban on owning animals.

In 2008 Clarke, then of Bulford Road in Fazakerley, punched four-month-old Labrador-husky cross, Benji, 10 times before cornering him and stabbing him in the back, killing him. His excuse? He was angry at having been rejected for a job. This anger was directed at his defenceless pet.

Clarke then wrapped Benji in two black bin liners and buried his body in his back garden.

The RSPCA received an anonymous phone call from a concerned member of the public and arrived at Clarke’s home later that day.

Equine Abuse, horses and ponies

CONVICTED (2008) |  Rose Jay, born c. 1949, of Monksfield Farm, Monksfield Lane, Newland, Malvern WR13 5BB – found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to a chestnut mare.

Jay’s pregnant horse, called Sunshine, was found emaciated and being kept, along with others, in a Christmas tree plantation.

A representative from World Horse Welfare (formerly ILPH) visited Jay’s farm in 2006 and saw the mare in poor condition in a field with some hay but no water.

She visited again a few weeks later and found the horses were without grass, hay or water.

On March 15, 2007, the woman discovered the horses had been moved to a Christmas tree plantation.

Nicholas Sutton, prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA, said: “The mare appeared to have deteriorated.

“There was no hay or grass in the plantation but there was straw.”

A few days later, the woman returned and was shocked to see the mare was emaciated, with protruding spine and ribs.

The RSPCA was contacted and a vet subsequently said the animal, which also had lice and worms, had been suffering for several weeks.

Representing herself, Jay said the mare had since given birth to a healthy foal and had absorbed the weight to put into the foal.

She said she moved the horses to the plantation after an attempted theft and was £30,000 in debt.

She said her other horses were healthy and she intended to appeal against her conviction.

The RSPCA’s chief inspector for Worcestershire, Lee Hopgood, welcomed the sentence imposed on Jay, saying: “I feel it adequately reflects the seriousness of the offence and Mrs Jay’s clear inability to adequately care for horses or take advice.”

Sentencing:
12-week prison sentence suspended for 13 months. Total of £3,150 costs including vets’ bills. Banned from keeping horses and ponies for five years (expired May 2013).
