A man who neglected his pets for weeks resulting in one of the animals cannibalising another said he "couldn't cope with what happened".
Paul Wynne, 42, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court this morning, Wednesday, June 28, after he pleaded guilty to three charges in the lower court regarding the treatment of animals in his care. On October 29 last year two Merseyside Police officers, named as Lomax and Cohen, attended an address on Rockford Avenue, Kirkby, after concerns had been raised about the occupant Wynne.
Neighbours had complained about a bad smell of decay coming from the flat and "maggots coming through the ceiling of the flat below". The police officers forced entry to the flat due to concerns for human life, but upon examination of the property found the skeletal remains of three dogs in an advanced state of decomposition.
