Man filmed killing a SEAGULL by kicking and stamping on it at train station is let off with fine
Evil Martin Maguire, 52, was caught on CCTV as he cornered the bird in Holyhead, Wales, before kicking it to death as he waited for a train
THIS is the horrific moment a man stamped a seagull to death on a train station platform - before being let off with a fine.
Evil Martin Maguire, 52, was caught on CCTV as he cornered the bird in Holyhead, Wales, before kicking it to death as he waited for a train.
But he dodged jail after magistrates ordered him to cough up just £360.
Horrified station staff found the bird with a broken neck and wing as they cleaned the station platforms the next morning.
They were then forced to watch the savage attack on CCTV as they tried to nab the culprit.
Maguire, of no fixed address, was found guilty of intentionally killing a wild bird at Caernarfon Magistrates' Court last year.

PC Harry Thompson said: "This was a mindless and violent attack on an innocent animal, who suffered a painful, unnecessary and cruel death at the hands of Maguire.
"It was also incredibly distressing for the member of staff who found the dead seagull, and then had to watch Maguire’s attack in full on CCTV.
"I am pleased we were able to bring him before the courts as violence against anyone, including animals, will not be tolerated."
