A teenage girl and boy have been charged after a pair of kittens were 'tortured and killed' in an 'incredibly distressing' attack.
The Metropolitan Police received a report on May 3 that alleged two teenagers had dismembered the animals in north-west London.
The 'mutilated' animals were alleged to have been carried to Ickenham Road, Ruislip, in a black duffel bag before being dumped.
On Tuesday, a 16-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy were both charged with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and possession of a bladed article in a public place, the Metropolitan Police said.
They were arrested on Monday and are due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court later today.
