Briston, Norfolk: Beverley Lowe

#MostEvil | Beverley Lowe (aka Beverley Atterbury), born 5 April 2001, of Old Post Road, Briston, Melton Constable NR24 7NB – drowned her two cats in the bath and dumped their bodies in her wheelie bin

Mother-of-one Lowe pleaded guilty to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

The court heard how the cats – a black-and-white male called Gizmo and a tortoiseshell female called Delilah – would have suffered “fear, distress and panic” for at least four minutes when Lowe killed them in the bath at her home on October 22, 2020.

Johnathon Eales, prosecuting, said the dead cats were found wrapped in towels in a wheelie bin at Lowe’s house on October 24, after a friend of hers reported the matter.

The following day the RSPCA confiscated another cat and a pet chihuahua from Lowe.

Lowe had told authorities the cats had wandered outside when she left the door open while putting the rubbish out. She said she later found the cats with blood on them and that they had been in a road accident, so she put them in the bath to wash off the blood, and they drowned.

But an expert who investigated dismissed this claim, and said that while the cats had been through a “blunt force trauma”, the signs did not match a road accident.

Mr Eales said Lowe had no previous convictions and this was her first court appearance. He said: “This still leaves the burning question of why? Why do such a thing?”

Addressing the court, Lowe said: “I know what I did was wrong and I shouldn’t have done it. One of the witnesses kind of led me to kill the cats because she said that she would have done it after I said what had happened. Also because I was pregnant it was really stressful and it kind of led me to kill the cats anyway.”

Presiding magistrate Mary Wyndham said: “The harm was high because both cats, because of your treatment, were killed, and in a violent manner. And we’ve heard from an expert in this matter that great suffering was caused to both of these animals.”

Sentencing 18-month suspended jail sentence; costs of £728. Banned from owning pets for life.

  1. Another Mentally Disturbed Evil Scum.
    She Is Not Capable Of Looking After,
    Or Safe Around That New Baby.
    Social Services need to be Informed and keep a close eye on that New Baby.

    1. Don’t worry, the baby is safe and has been taken off of her, thank God. Couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened to the baby if she stayed in Beverleys care. We’d probably see a murder article.

  2. I have Emailed this over to Norfolk Council Social Services.
    Absolutely Heart Breaking.
    She could have given these Cats to a Rescue, or Phoned the RSPCA.
    What A Sad Life For A Young Woman.

  3. I agree that social services need to be warned about this evil woman,no child or animal is safe around her.absolute scum

  4. Hope S.S are keeping a close.eye on this scumbag with that child whenever I pass the home she lives in the curtains are always closed and I have never ever heard that baby cry , things just don’t seem normal in there!

      1. She doesn’t have a husband named James. Shes not married. However, James is her dad (the father of her child).

    1. Hopefully her family detests what she did as it would be concerning otherwise. Cat rescue friend seems genuine though.

      1. I would be too shes a vile human being, killing innocent animals and bareley gets a punishment for it

    2. Now living in Little Snoring, NOT BRISTON her dad banged up for 8 months for impregnating her, in a “consensual insestual relationship” seems to spend alot of time in Sheringham, walking around, stroking people’s dogs, causing trouble for people who spoke up about these things. People are totally unaware of what she is capable of. Sick human being. Should be inside with her dad/partner! RIP GIZMO
