GEORGE TOWN: Police are looking for a man responsible in tying a cat inside a sack and throwing it into a drain, which ultimately led to its death, yesterday.
Northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Razlam Ab Hamid said they received a report from a 31-year-old woman just before noon yesterday on the incident.
"According to the woman, who delivers food, about 8.30am yesterday, she saw a man from Kota Giam here throwing a sack into a drain.

"She found a cat inside and while attempting to rescue it, she found the cat had died," he said today.
Razlam said the woman then buried the cat before lodging a report.
"We are tracking down the suspect.
"The case is probed under Section 29(1)(e) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015."
