This killer is leaving a lot of psychological evidence
behind.
Head and front legs cut off. Head dumped together with body, front
legs missing.
This seems like an obvious expression of power and perhaps anger?
According to this report, killing like took place in the wee hours
of Tuesday. Cats are nocturnal. Cat singing pissed him/her off? Too
noisy? Couldn't sleep/study? Babies stressing you out? Had a bad
Monday at work? Or the cat simply rejected your attempts to pet
it?
Killer targets smaller, weaker animals likely due to the lack of
power and authority in daily life. Maybe he/she is constantly
getting ordered around, scolded or bullied by others, frequently
getting frustrated at work and yet being unable to do anything
about it. Feels like shi t right? By targetting weaker victims,
he/she gains some satisfaction and the feeling of empowerment and
an adrenaline rush. This is addictive. Killer might have done
similar acts to other small animals in the past. When the sense of
empowerment wears off, he/she might have to renew the feeling.
He/She might be killing small animals now but could likely devolve
to human victims when it just wouldn't do satisfy anymore. Starting
with little kids/babies. Yes. But killer did not take the trophy
head. No. Too gross and scary and bloody? Risk of someone else
finding the gross thing in his/her possession?
Didn't seem like there was much struggle with all the clean cuts.
Report says cat could have been dead beforehand. Or the front legs
were cut off first. Without the front legs, struggle is reduced
significantly. Bloodloss weakening the cat at the same time. Front
legs might be cut off because the cat was defending itself with
them.
Killer could then have injuries on his/her arms and legs, that
he/she might try to conceal. The front legs could have been kept to
deny the cat, even in death, the very weapons that it used to hurt
the killer.
This gives the killer the feeling of victory and empowerment as
well. Perhaps this is the real trophy item. Why the need for a
trophy? To remind them of the glorious battle in which they
actually won. Why do they need to prolong this sense of victory?
Because in real life, they usually are unable to.
Clean cuts could also mean just a sharp bladed object that anyone
can find. Without much of a struggle, a cut can be made easily. If
there were pieces of chipped bone fragments at the cut, they could
have been chopped off. Sawing leaves torn skin usually.
Thats my brief analysis given the current info we have for now. Its
amateurish, I know. But I'm being serious here.
Sorry for such a lengthy first post
I love
animals(every single one of them, every type of species) and
absolutely detest and despise animal abusers because they are such
cowards and weaklings.
