Andrew Shephard was helping his daughter rehome the three young cats when he tipped them from a box into the water from Twickenham Bridge in south west London last November. As he did, he could be heard shouting let them die and I want them to die, Wimbledon Magistrates' Court heard on Tuesday. JPs were told the 59-year-old who previously pleaded guilty to three counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal had said he did not know what came over me.

The tragic end of the incident underscores the profound impact of intoxication and reckless behavior in familial relationships, leading to a devastating outcome and lifelong repercussions.
