San Bernardino County sheriffs Cpl. Alonzo Daniel testified that Timothy Arie Kooyman admitted beating, slashing, axing and running over the animals over a two-week period in April 2008...
He told me he did it out of pleasure, the detective testified...
He alleged that Kooyman became enraged when the calico defecated on the floor, prompting him to throw the feline around the room, break its legs and shove his finger into its anus.
He said he did that just to see how the cat would react, Daniel testified.
Eventually, the defendant took the severely injured animal outside and ran over it with his truck, according to Daniel.
The detective testified that Kooyman got mad when the black-and-white cat wouldnt love him and used an axe to strike the cat twice in the stomach.
When the cat didnt die, the defendant decapitated it, Daniel said.
He alleged that, for no particular reason, Kooyman filled a plastic tub full of water and locked the Siamese inside, trying unsuccessfully to drown it.
The defendant later used a scalpel to slice open the cats stomach, and then slashed its throat, Daniel testified.
All of the cats remains were thrown behind a wall at a nearby Walgreens store.
