Llanelli mum left 'a wreck' over dead cat horror
A LLANELLI mum who had a decapitated cat put through her letterbox has slammed police — claiming she has not been taken seriously.
Kristie Carrington said she had been a "wreck" since the horrific incident two weeks ago — feeling scared in her own home and suffering panic attacks.

Ms Carrington — who lives on Als Street with partner Darius and her two children Madison, 2, and DJ, 11 months — said officers warned her the incident was "very serious" and told her she should get CCTV.
But since the incident, she said she had not even had a phone call from police about the investigation.

The 38-year-old said: "When the first officer came here, he told us 'I advise you to get CCTV, we are going to be coming back and checking on you because of how serious this is'.
"When he said it was very serious I was like 'oh my God'. I was panicking.
"But they haven't been since. Not even a phone call.
"I'm absolutely disgusted. It's just not on."
Ms Carrington said since the ordeal she did not feel safe in the house. She said: "I try to be out of the house as much as possible.
"If I have had to go to the supermarket after dark I was having panic attacks.
"I kept thinking people were following me. The bushes were rustling. I couldn't breathe.
"It's horrible. I'm a wreck.
"I feel like they are not taking me seriously.
"Even if they phoned and said they are still looking into it but haven't got anything — but it's been nothing at all."
A police spokeswoman said inquiries were ongoing.
Anyone with information about the incident can call them on 101.

“What absolute nonsense from the police. Why should this woman spend hundreds of pounds installing CCTV? Even if she managed to film anyone the police would come up with the usual ' The pictures are not clear enough' to do anything.
This is yet another example of the police doing what we used to term 'Guinness bottle shoulders' in other words shrug and say there is nothing they can do.
To put a cat through a letter box must take quite a bit of shoving and pushing. Would I be correct in saying that the police did not even make a forensic examination of the letter box for finger prints or other clues?
For people who read this and think I am just police bashing then here's a challenge. This happened two weeks ago and according to the police they are making inquiries. The file on this incident should therefore contain a record of the original crime report and all actions taking by the police since then. Show us the file, let us see exactly what you have been doing. Any bets that the file is empty?”
