#MostEvil | Laura Cunliffe (aka Laura Eldred), born 19/12/1990, of Springwood Rd, Hoyland, Barnsley S74 0EP – cooked her pet kitten in the microwave Laura Cunliffe Enraged that the one-year-old cat named Mowgli had apparently killed her goldfish, Laura Cunliffe put the helpless animal into the microwave and set the timer for five minutes. She was said to have ‘come to her senses’ after one minute, when she took Mowgli out, and poured water on him to cool him down. But the animal died in agony around an hour later, his internal organs having been cooked from the inside. Cunliffe said the animal was ‘proper screeching’ before he died. In March 2014 Cunliffe was given a lifetime ban on keeping animals, although she can appeal after five years. Sentence: 14 weeks in jail, lifetime ban on keeping animals. Daily Mail
