Gina Robins: a kitten in the microwave

Very poor show indeed from Gina Robbins, the Torquay woman who put a friend's kitten in the microwave because she had reported her (Robbins') boyfried to the police.

On the pretext of heating up some baby food, she instead popped the 10-week-old kitten in the device.

Its owner, Sarah Knutton, heard a dreadful wailing shriek and then a popping noise as the kitten 'exploded'.

Upon investigating she discovered it splattered around the inside of the microwave. Her first action, she told the court, was to throw up. Understandable, that bit.

Top marks to the Daily Mail website for running a picture with the caption: 'The kitten, similar to the one pictured...'

Robbins may be facing a jail sentence.
