Gorton, Manchester: Christopher Keogh

#MostEvil | junkie and career criminal Christopher Anthony Keogh, born 30 March 1981, of 694 Hyde Road, Gorton, Manchester M18 7EF and with links to Colchester – beat a Jack Russell puppy to death

Keogh, then living in Colchester, launched a prolonged violent attack against the one-year-old dog, known as Bambi, after he claimed she had bitten his child. He choked the dog with her collar, held her above his head and threw her across a courtyard. He then kicked, punched and slammed her against a brick wall before dumping her bloodied body in a bin.

The attack lasted several minutes and was caught on CCTV which police deemed too upsetting to release.

Officers found Bambi’s body wrapped in a towel in a bin outside Keogh’s flat complex. She was taken to a vet, who confirmed she was dead. Keogh was arrested shortly after.

District Judge Andrew Woollard said: ‘I can’t envisage a crime more serious than what you committed.

‘It appears in your fury you took the dog and executed it.

‘I suspect everyone else who hears the facts would find them disgusting. Custody it has to be.’

Judge Woollard refused his solicitor’s requests for Keogh to undergo a psychological report before sentence was passed.

The court heard how Keogh had recently overcome a drug habit and was now taking replacement medicines twice a week to stave off addiction.

He is well known to the court with a history of other offences, although not for animal cruelty.

About 15 animal rights protesters jeered Keogh as he entered the court, held placards that read ‘Justice for Bambi’ and banged on the court house windows as he entered.

Speaking after the decision, Liza Moore, head of Colchester Animal Defenders, said: ‘This is nowhere near a long enough sentence.

‘Barbaric animal killings such as this should be punished in the toughest possible way.

‘You shouldn’t get less for fraud and crimes that are less violent.’

Ms Moore is calling for residents to lobby their MPs to demand tougher sentences for people who abuse animals.

She said: ‘There is no excuse for animal abuse.

‘There is a direct correlation between people who abuse animals and those who go on to hurt human beings.’

Sentence: 150 days in jail. Banned from keeping animals for life.
