DOG KILLER! JAMELA OATES FROM BETTWS, NEWPORT, WALES LEFT 3 DOGS TO STARVE TO DEATH

Oates pleaded guilty to one offence under the Animal Welfare Act after the three dogs – Precious, Destiny and Diamond – were found dead in their kennels.

In a written statement provided to the court, RSPCA Inspector Simon Evans, described his attendance at the address.

He said: “At the bottom of the garden, largely secluded from the rest of the house, were two purpose built, steel runs, with solid roofs.

Mrs Fletcher-Oates returned to the house, informing me that she could not bear to see the dogs’ bodies.

“Outside the first kennel was a black bag in which, I had been informed, was the body of the dog Precious.

In the second kennel, immediately next to the first, was a small travel cage which contained the desiccated bodies of two further dogs, both French Bulldogs, with the furthest dog being slightly smaller than the nearer one.

Both dogs had decomposed and were stuck to a blanket that lined the cage.

“I then opened up the bag containing the body of the dog Precious which lay outside the first run.

There were, in fact, three bags all inside each other and which contained the body of the dog.

The body was again desiccated and all of the hips and ribs were clearly visible.

The dog’s coat was sloughing off as I handled it and I noted maggots and fly egg cases over the body.”
