Pet duck found beheaded in garden

A pet duck has been beheaded in what the RSPCA said was a horrific attack.

It was found with its head and feet cut off in the garden of a house in Queens Park Road in Bournemouth on 24 July.

A veterinary examination confirmed the duck had not been killed by a predatory animal, and the RSPCA said it was investigating.

The bird's owners were away at the time, and the bird was found by a neighbour. The RSPCA appealed for help from anyone with information.
