CONVICTED (2016) | serial wildlife killer Benjamin James Murray, born 14 September 1984, of Leslie in Fife* – killed a cat and bit a dog during domestic violence incidents
Murray attacked women and family pets during a catalogue of violent crime.
He throttled former partners and bit one of them as well as biting a dog and fatally injuring a cat.
A judge told Murray: “You pled guilty to a series of violent offences against humans and indeed animals.”
John Morris QC said at the High Court in Edinburgh that from reports prepared on the offender “it is absolutely clear you pose a continuing risk to members of the public”.
The judge ordered that Murray should be kept under supervision for a further two years.
He was given a concurrent five-month jail term for crimes against animals and the judge said: “You will be banned from owning or looking after animals for a period of 10 years.”
Murray had pets of various kinds and he admitted ill-treating dogs and causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
In 2014 Murray and his accomplice, sex offender and serial animal killer Brandon Robb of Paterson Cottages, Leslie, Fife, stole 30 baby ducks from a farm, before Robb posted a picture of some of the ducklings, by then killed, on his page on the social networking site.
On another occasion Robb was convicted of using his lurcher dog to kill a rare piebald deer.
Sentence: four years in jail including five months for crimes against animals. Banned from owning or looking after animals for 10 years (expires February 2026).

Benny21093 check out his tiktok guys he’s started changing his sights on perving over young girls this man is deranged, megalomaniac self driven inbred. Waste of flesh AND bone.
He has dogs and ferrets, and lives in Kennoway. So the ban is being enforced well!
Staying in Halfield Gardens, Kennoway. Makes no secret of the fact he’s a fud. Has ferrets and has had numerous dogs in the few weeks he’s lived there. Also had chickens for a few days. Boys a fanny, has no regard for the law and zero lessons have been learned. Still a danger to animals. without a doubt.
3 Westwood place KY11 4XG . He’s a fucking animal hasn’t learned shit. Still hunts animals still has them. And still allowed to keep them cause they ain’t in his name they’re his fat mentally retarded mutant of a beast an aw for condoning it. Kept the dogs in cages. Owned pitbulls. Now the arsehole has a cat. Female kitten and of course kittens. All away by 7 weeks old. He knows fuck all about animals
What’s not to be said about this wrong one!! Scum of the earth. Can see his ban makes no difference as all sorts of animals been in and out the house since they moved in! Bares thinking about what’s happening to those poor helpless wee souls.
TROUBLE with a capital T, Complete nuisance.. very unwanted by MANY in Halfield gardens. Needs moved ASAP
3 Westwood place ky11 4XG. Sspca have allowed him to keep a cat who had kittens because they belong to his fat retard Donna who isn’t fit to look after any animals herself. Kittens gone before 8 weeks old. Cause Benny knows best right. Breeding them just to kill them. The amount of dogs I’ve seen alone. Kept in cages no toys. No food and water in with them. Water is to be provided 24/7 but not when they had them in cages. A Pitbull puppy who needed a lot of energy. Gone also no idea where she is. I know one dog who is never going back there I know she is safe. But they allow him to keep having animals
How do you actually know this?? There is more information about him now then ever before
I live in the same area that’s why. Sspca do not care. Numerous reports and they allow him to keep the animals because of his beasty cow Gf Donna Stewart having them in her name. He’s now moved address. 18 Henryson Road KY11 4UY. Xl bully’s. And folk wonder why they’re being banned. Because of folk like him being allowed pets despite many calls coming in they wait until disaster happens before they get off their backend. Both Sspca and police have been made well aware for MONTHS and have done nothing. Several people have reported him. They don’t do anything. And now that dog is pregnant which both police and Sspca have allowed in the time being of several reports. He’s got cameras around his area as well.
Sounds like more than meets the eye with sspca and the police something isn’t right there and I’m sure it’s not against the law to have cameras? Any proof this dog is actually pregnant have you been near the dog at all or is this what you’ve been told by people unless you’ve seen the dog pregnant the sspca and police won’t do anything is the dog vicious in any way at all? If so try ringing the dog warden to inform them of a vicious dog and let them know the sspca won’t do anything or the police. Sounds like because they aren’t in his name police won’t do anything it still stands he isn’t allowed to own a dog until 2026? That’s nearly 3 years this should include walking an animal aswell. Go higher if needs be with everything and how do you know his gf is a beast?
I know Benny personally so it’s come Directly out his own damn mouth I have seen dog already made that report. This same dog that’s now just got stolen from Bennys partner the other day. Other words he’s got the dogs sent somewhere else. He’s got both of these dogs which yes I have seen. Male dog is somewhere else and female got papped elsewhere. Isn’t against the law for him to have cameras never said anything of the matter either just him having them he’s able to see who is coming up. His gf is papped with him and something else has just come out about him which I cannot say on here. Checking his convictions his past his background the way at he is around folk it was no surprise to me. She’s sticking by him she’s a beast herself. Everyone is sick of it. 5 official reports and they just take the piss. Waste of time. An animal killer should not be allowed to live in the same damn house as one. The amount he’s had and he keeps talking about more acting like he knows dogs. He knows nothing about the breed. I made reports on the male dog isn’t there no more. Sspca goes oh where did he go? Like honestly yous lot for real right now. They were told time and time and time again and just sat on it. Sspca have never went to him yet except once.
Can’t tell from distance if the dog is pregnant just by what he’s telling everyone can’t keep his mouth shut. I’m not having dogs being punished more FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT DONE WRONG. Whilst they beasts get to walk about freely. Nah.

Can’t tell from distance if the dog is pregnant just by what he’s telling everyone can’t keep his mouth shut. Things I know I’ve heard from him himself. Not something I’m hearing from around and I’m not having they dogs being punished more FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE NOT DONE WRONG. Whilst they beasts get to walk about freely. Nah. They don’t appear aggressive it’s just what he’s telling folk and these dogs have got to pay the price just like they have to already.
Sounds like drama? If the sspca won’t do anything nothing much more you can about it does he know you has actually reported him personally? Sounds like you know him but don’t at same time that’s her choice to stay or go tho? And I don’t know I can ask my friend see if she has a rough idea about all of this she might or might not know
He probably does don’t really care tbh. Not the only one to make that report and rightly so. Poor dogs have already gotten the backlash and folk like him get away with goading these animals. He’s a beast through and through and so is his partner for condoning it. Learning difficulties. Does that mean she cannot understand between right and wrong and if she can’t why is he with someone like that? Someone who doesn’t have the brain capacity to understand it’s absolutely disgusting and very predatory. The male dog has been taken somewhere else. Female apparently she got stolen from his partner a few days ago. He’s an animal and he thinks and has the entitlement to say what he thinks on dogs. If they knew dogs he wouldn’t be calling them a breed when it’s already confirmed they are MONGRELS. They are not a pedigree breed and never will be. They’re a mixed breed. And funny it’s only these types of dogs he chooses. Knows nothing about animals except on how to kill them. One of these days someone is gonna get hurt by him when all that could have been prevented the moment the first report came in months ago about him. They sit and wait and wait until he does something. And guess what he’s already done that from what I’ve heard. Vile beast he is
Why is anyone giving um the tym of day?? I’ve always said something ain’t right with him or her for that matter! There’s summit about him I just can’t put me finger on exactly what tho! N as for male dog he doesn’t have um anymore I divent na where he’s gone n I know someone already admitted they’ve reported him but for reasons I can’t say a name of this person but they know they reported him and so do I but again no name mentioned he’s had a few cats far as I’ve heard n I’ve seen the female dog n she doesn’t look pregnant from what I’ve seen neither
He has had two dogs within two weeks all ready
He’s had a lot more than that. So many different dogs. Beyond the joke. Sspca and police have done nothing. Same dogs that are being killed left and right and they allow sickos like him to have them. He’s been moved from the area. No idea where he is now.
Ring the sspca if anyone is bothered his ban isn’t up until 2026!!! So there’s another 2 years man it’s all drama atm he’s been moved no one knows where too or why neither but bitching on here about it ain’t getting anyone anywhere
Sspca have been called NUMEROUS TIMES. That ban believe it or not. DOES NOT EVEN EXIST. It’s bs. That’s come from Sspca themselves
And without an address now SSPCA won’t go. They need his address
His ban ain’t up til 2026!!!
He stays in logelly apprantly
