#MostEvil | Daniel Devlin, born 07/03/1966, of 33 Greenhead Road, Wishaw ML2 8DJ – stole ex-girlfriend’s dog, poured petrol over him and burned him alive
Deciding he wanted rid of his girlfriend’s cross terrier dog Sam, Devlin stole him, drove to a deserted wood and tied him to a tree with a piece of rope. He then poured petrol over the dog and set him alight.
Sam was found the next day, barely alive and in agony, by a couple out walking
The tiny dog suffered 70% burns to his body and had to be put to sleep.
The court heard how Devlin had callously told a friend “I’ve tortured it, that’s it done”.
The presiding judge noted that Devlin showed no remorse for his actions. It came out later that he had also threatened a witness who was giving evidence at this trial.
Sentence: jailed for seven months. Banned from keeping animals for life.
As always facts are wrong, it’s was Myself and partner that found that poor dog, I was driving, thought it was hit by a car at first, pouring rain made it even more difficult to get the poor thing into my car, was only on way to vets we started to smell the burnt hair and petrol smell,what he did to that animal is unspeakable, and he only received 4 months sentence after being in court twice.
Thank you for this. I’m in Scotland and will never forget this case. It was one of the first cases I added after starting this blog. Gutted that he’s still breathing and living his shitty life at the same house in Wishaw. Who in their right mind would want someone capable of such evil as their neighbour?
