An American linked with the
stabbing of four alpacas, last December, appeared in court this week.
On Wednesday (12th
September), Shawn Malcarne of Westbrook, Connecticut faced charges including
animal cruelty, burglary and larceny.
Malcarne, who has entered not guilty pleas to all charges,
requested, through his attorney, that more investigation be done into the case.
Presiding Judge Lisa Morgan granted him a continuance until mid-October.
An alleged associate of the
23-year-old, Kyle Rosetti, faces the same charges as Malcarne, with an
additional criminal trespass charge being levelled at him.
Rosetti (21) is due in court on
September 19th. In an interesting sub-plot, the alpaca case
constitutes a probation break for Rosetti. He was found guilty, in October last
year, of a breach of the peace offense.
A four-month investigation, into
the alpaca case, began after the animals were found stabbed to death at
Applesauce Acres Farm in the state. The police have said that they were led to
Malcarne and Rosetti by a nose-ring that had been left at the scene, having also
receiving an anonymous tip-off.
