Croydon cat killer unmasked: Met Police reveal culprits after three year probe and 500 deaths

Scotland Yard is closing a long-running investigation into the so-called Croydon cat killer, saying the most likely culprits are foxes.
The Metropolitan Police announced the findings today after reports that a serial cat killer was behind the slaughter and mutilation of up to 500 pets across the UK.

For nearly three years, police and animal activists have been hunting for a culprit, also dubbed the M25 cat killer, who was suspected of bludgeoning animals to death before dissecting their corpses.
At one point a team of 15 Scotland Yard officers was deployed on the trail of the suspect, who was even likened to Jack the Ripper.
