A TEEN boy who tortured, killed and dismembered two kittens with a girl in a warped bid to reduce his urge to kill a human has been locked up.
The depraved pair used rope to tie up the defenceless animals before “mutilating” them.

One of the kittens was found cut open on the ground in Ruislip, North West London, while the other was hanging from a tree.
Chillingly, the boy, 17, wrote how he “really wanted to murder someone” and killed cats to “reduce my urges”.
He also made a number of harrowing searches about sacrificing animals to Satan.
The boy has been detained for 12 months after pleading guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to the protected animals by “mutilating and killing” them.
His co-defendant will be sentenced for the same charge this afternoon.
The teens, who legally can’t be named, also admitted one count of possession of a knife.
Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court was told the horror unfolded on May 3.
Footage released by police showed the girl, 16, and 17-year-old boy strolling through a residential street.
The boy could be seen clutching a bag that is believed to have been used to carry the kittens.
CCTV then captured the twisted pair running back down the same street after killing the baby cats.
Prosecutor Valerie Benjamin said the animals were discovered with their flesh and fur cut off and burnt.
As well as the tragic kittens, knives, blowtorches and scissors were found at the scene.
Police later discovered a note on the boy’s phone that read: “I really wanted to murder someone and I was searching how to get away with murder.
“I have come close.
“I have killed cats to reduce my urges.
“I have skinned strangled and stabbed cats.”
The boy had also carried out a number of chilling searches for “killing cats and dogs” and “how to kill a human”.
Ms Benjamin said: “There were concerns about his desire to go on to killing humans.
“He questioned how easy it would be get away with murder and how to kill homeless people.”
It also emerged the teens had chillingly put out adverts for the kittens and went to pick them up before killing them.
Sentencing, Judge Hina Rai also imposed a lifetime ban from caring for animals on the boy.
She said: “You have caused extreme suffering to those two kittens. You knew exactly what you were doing and it would result in their suffering.
“Without a doubt these are the most awful offences I have seen against animals in this court.”
