PETALING JAYA: Police have referred the alleged killing of two kittens by a child at a flat in Ampang, Selangor, to the veterinary services department.
Ampang Jaya police chief Azam Ismail confirmed that four police reports had been lodged over the incident last month, and said policemen were sent to visit the scene.
He said the case was later referred to the department’s Hulu Langat chapter.
“No investigation paper was opened since the case had been referred to the department,” he said in a statement.
CCTV footage, which went viral, showed a child purportedly taking two kittens from a cage at the fifth floor of the flat. The animals were later found dead on the fourth floor.
