US woman kills pet dog, uses its remains to fake miscarriage

Montgomery, Albama: A woman was arrested for brutally murdering her husband's pet dog and using his remains to stage her miscarriage after faking pregnancy for over seven months.

According to a report in The Sun, the accused identified as Anita Parker had lied to her husband about her pregnancy for seven months.

She killed their 8-month-old chihuahua puppy and used his tissues, blood and other remains to fake her miscarriage.

When her husband Johnny Parker returned home, he found Anita soaked in blood and tissues. When he confronted her, she told him that she had a miscarriage and had to flush the fetus down the toilet.

Johnny immediately took Anita to the hospital where the doctors told him that his wife was never pregnant. When Johnny returned home, he realised that his pet chihuahua was missing. His neighbour found the dead puppy gutted in the trash and informed Johnny about it.

Eventually Anita confessed to killing their pet dog and using his remains to fake her miscarriage. Johnny said that he never suspected that his wife had been faking her pregnancy, although she never allowed him to visit the doctor with her. "It hurts like crap, man, about my dog. I loved that dog, man," Johnny was quoted as saying.

He also told police that to assure him of the pregnancy, Anita would always show him the ultrasound pictures of a male fetus, adding that he now suspects that she might have downloaded them from the internet.

Anita Parker has been arrested and charged with first-degree animal cruelty and has been held on a bond of $7000.
