A 20-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of criminal damage and released under investigation pending further inquiries, police said.
It followed “a significant response” to a public appeal for information, the West Yorkshire force added.
Sgt Dave Lund said the killings were “an appallingly cruel and unnecessary act”.
He needs teaching a lesson . The man is obviously a danger to our wildlife. Let’s hope that he goes before a judge who likes animals. Five years in prison ,NOT just a fine and a slap on the wrists. I wished I could meet him . Vile lowlife scum . My blood is boiling . 😡😡😡👹👹👿👎
its soooooo rare the killers are ever caught – interesting to see what the punishment is. hope he spends time with mental health counsellers
