Cat killer jailed for stabbing estranged wife's pet
CAT killer Andrew Beese has been jailed for stabbing his estranged wife’s pet to death after a domestic row.
The 60-year-old, of Bisley Old Road, Stroud, who earlier admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, was today put behind bars for 14 weeks.
Cheltenham magistrates court heard this morning that Beese stabbed the cat after a bust-up with his enstranged wife Helen Bond on December 29 last year.
Nick Sutton, for the RSPCA, said the cat called “Koko”, was nursing four kittens. Beese stabbed her with a knife and threw the body over a fence after Mrs Bond stormed out.

“He said he killed it as a matter of spite,” said Mr Sutton.
Mrs Bond was escorted out of the court after she pleaded with the bench for leniency.
“He is sick”, she shouted. “He is bi-polar.”
Beese was also banned from keeping animals for 20 years.
After the hearing Inspector Philip Mann of the RSPCA said the injuries caused to the cat were among the ten worst he had seen in 21 years.
“He does not deserve the right to have animals in his home,” Mr Mann said.

“Blaming Bi-Polar Disorder as an excuse is not good enough and not very wise, anyone can blame or lay blame for something but that does not make it right or correct or good. Putting blame on something or onto someone is easy to do, it is much harder to accept the blame and then take or make actions to correct that fault.
To inflict harm and to cause death to anyone and to an animal is wrong, morally and criminally. To do this for spite is indeed an act of purpose and done so with clarity and function. So so lay blame for this act at the foot of Bi-Polar is both ill-founded and silly. Does that anyone who has Bi-Polar 1, 2 or 3 may or will inflict death to an animal or person? - No, it does not and this dear reader is just an excuse to get a lesser sentance.
Andrew Beese did this disgusting act with malice, he had acted this out with intent, intent to cause his estranged partner grief. This is a fact.
The man himself may have mental health problems, but moreso, the heath profession and that of the court must also shoulder the responsibility to rehabilate this man and he, Andrew Beese must accept that what he did was of the gravest intent to cause hurt, harm, fear, death and inflict it with malice. This is NOT and I do repeat this, this is NOT a Bi-Polar issue and the PB disorder has been used as an excuse to obtain a lighter sentance. The court must have had a pyschological background check on Andrew Beese, if so, then the most likely issue is that this man did this dreadful act with pure and malicious intent. Therefore, he was incharge of his facilities and motor-functions which means he had purpose. Most likely Andrew Beese does suffer from a mental health issue and most like it is one of a personality disorder such as Narcissictic Personality Disorder:
Symptoms of this disorder include, but are not limited to:
Reacts to criticism with anger, shame, or humiliation
May take advantage of others to reach their own goals
Tends to exaggerate their own importance, achievements, and talents
Imagines unrealistic fantasies of success, beauty, power, intelligence, or romance
Requires constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
Easily becomes jealous
Lacks empathy and disregards the feelings of others
Obsessed with oneself
Mainly pursues selfish goals
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Is easily hurt and rejected
Sets unrealistic goals
Wants "the best" of everything
Appears as tough-minded or unemotional
Overall, the court should have impossed a sentance that reflected the harm and suffering and wrong-doing. Fourteen weeks does seem short, but the man should have also had a life-ban on him iposed for having animals as well as undertake continual psychological assistance from forensic psychologists. That way Andrew Beese must come to terms with both his wrong-going and his problems with health and relationships.”

“14 weeks? thats pathetic!! should be at least 5 years!! or maybe somebody would like to stab him and throw him over a fence or lock him up and throw away the key!! I hope he suffers a rough 14 weeks inside.
Illness shouldnt always be used as an excuse for pre meditated incidents. Thank heavens for the RSPCA but what about the people who were standing there when he stabbed the poor cat? maybe somebody could have rescued the cat and taken her to a vet to give her some chance of recovery but then some people dont have the intelligence to help animals.”

“That's a typical 'freed' woman reaction, -- been there felt the emotion, it will be later she will grieve for her beloved cat and the hate for him will set in.
Can someone tell me why all murderers aren't on the end of a rope?”

“I'm bipolar but I wouldn't dream of doing something so downright bloody evil. Lame excuse.
A nasty bitter spiteful little man. I loathe his behaviour.
As people have stated on this site before, how many killers/torturers of animals go on to do it to humans? So angry he wasn't sentenced for longer.
Sick. Sick. SICK!”

“Good, although at the rate they are swiftly released long before they are supposed to be these days, he will probably meet himself coming out on his way in. As for his estranged wife pleading for leniency, she must have a screw loose, bi-polar my backside, it was sheer spite against her, I wouldn't be at all forgiving if that was my cat. At least he is where he belongs.”
