Bit of an update on this. Just come across it a few minutes ago on BBC news site.
Turns out the crown have filed new increased charges against this man (Anthony Docherty of Clarkston).
I won't list some of the other unspeakable things he is now alleged to have done, but they are charging him with doing it to even more cats. Thing is, from what i have read online about what he might have actually done to the cats, don't think even these charges scratch the surface on some of the deviant acts he might have actually perpetrated.
