A MUM and son have told of their horror at finding a beheaded cat in a bloodied underpass.

Paul Tubb, 30, and his mum Sylvia, 54, were walking through the subway, which is off Durham Road, Laindon, and goes under West Mayne, near Saffron Court, when they made the grisly discovery.

Two cats have been brutally killed with police confirming the body of a second moggy was found in Spires Close, Laindon, less then a mile from the first attack.
