A Garda investigation is underway into a horrific incident in a Tipperary village over the weekend.
A house in Ardfinnan was broken into on Saturday last while the owners were out.
It’s understood that during the burglary two dogs were drowned in a barrel of water in the back garden.
Gardaí in Cahir are appealing for any witnesses or information in relation to the incident at the Castleview estate – they can be contacted on 052 7445630.
Cllr.Mairín McGrath has described what happened as ‘barbaric’ and appealed for witnesses:
“I was disgusted and so horrified… not only is it a huge invasion of privacy to have your own house broken into and ransacked but also a brutal and savage crime to have your family pets, your two dogs drowned in such a barbaric fashion. I would appeal to anyone who might have seen anything unusual in that part of Ardfinnan on Saturday to contact Cahir Gardaí.”
