This cat with clear eyes, known as a Korean Shorthair, also.

Two 2-month-old Ragdoll kittens all fell to their deaths out of the window last month.

The person who killed the cats is a woman in her 20s of Uzbek nationality, surnamed A, who lives in Gimhae.

[(You threw one and killed it?) Yes. (Then where is the other one?) Which cat? (Did you throw both of them to their deaths?) Yes, that's right.]

The woman's crimes came to light following a report filed with an animal protection organization.

[Park Hye-kyung / Representative of the Stray Cat Protection Solidarity: A person who witnessed it being thrown said that Miki (the killed cat) was not moving.]

A stated that she suffered from depression and killed the cats whenever she was in a bad mood.

This is the scene where A threw four kittens out of a 5th-floor window to their deaths.

It was revealed that A committed the crimes after receiving cats for free through social media or purchasing them from pet shops.

[(Ask her when she threw this cat to its death.) July 29. (Then she brought them home on July 18, and killed both cats in the photo on the 29th?) Yes.]

Circumstances were even captured showing her attempting to adopt another kitten while undergoing police investigation for animal abuse charges.

A has currently been sent to the prosecution on charges including violations of the Animal Protection Act, and additional police investigations are underway, but there are currently no measures in place to prevent similar crimes in the future.
