Description:
A devastated family are calling for justice after their beloved pet peacock was brutally killed by an 'evil' gang of catapult-wielding youths. <br/><br/>Disturbing CCTV footage shows a group of youths as young as ten firing objects at the rescued peacock, called River, which was sitting in a tree in Boughton Monchelsea, Kent. <br/><br/>The injured bird is later seen falling to the ground before the sick youths are seen holding it aloft like a trophy, ripping its feathers out and hiding its body. <br/><br/>River's heartbroken owners Alison Carter and daughter Macey Michael-Carter, said their pet was 'one of the family'. <br/><br/>The family, who have five other peacocks, are now demanding the youths are caught and punished for killing their pet - after being ominously threatened by one of the gang who said, 'You'll be next'.<br/><br/>Alison and Macey were just about to go on holiday earlier this month when they were told River had been targeted. <br/><br/>CCTV from a neighbour’s camera shows a group of five boys and one girl, three armed with slingshots, taking turns at shooting River, who was perched in a tree. <br/><br/>Three boys are seen aiming and firing at the helpless bird 20 times from the road before climbing over the fence onto the roof of a private property to fire at the animal again.<br/><br/>The footage then captures the bright-feathered bird falling out of the tree, flapping in distress and cowering in a corner.<br/><br/>Three of the gang continue to fire at the bird after climbing onto the roof of a private property before two make their way onto the woodyard grounds. <br/><br/>One of the boys is then seen holding the peacock by its wings like a trophy, before another rips out some of its feathers. <br/><br/>Before fleeing the property, one of the gang picks up the peacock and is seen trying to hide it in a corner behind some wood. <br/><br/>\

He had his head in his hands and his body shook gently, quiet sobs erupting as his feet dangled above the ground. Opposite him lay a sea of flowers, some wilting, others fresh, weather-worn cards, their rain-defeated ink fading into illegibility and candles laid out to form the initials ‘JH’. When I came back home five hours later, he was still there.It’s a memorial Londoners have walked past countless times since it appeared in early January, at the site where 24-year-old Jonah Ho-Shue was stabbed to death. He was the first person to be killed on London’s streets this year.Around the capital, it is not uncommon to see shrines like this — tributes to lives cut tragically short. In many ways, knife crime is a hyper-visible problem in London. It is a fear which can sometimes lie dormant, and then be lit ablaze when a particularly senseless tragedy hits the headlines, such as the killing of 15-year-old schoolgirl Elianne Andam, or 16-year-old Harry Pitman at the end of last year.Until 2016, youth violence in the capital was widely understood to be falling — down from a peak in 2009. Then the numbers started climbing again. The 2020 lockdown seemed to provide some respite, as rates of stabbings decreased for the first time in half a decade, but knife crime in London has risen each year since the pandemic, with a 22 per cent increase in Met Police recorded offences involving a knife or sharp instrument in the last year (up to September 2023).")
