At 9.30pm on 6 March 2009 a group of teenagers were seen throwing a Staffordshire bull terrier from a top floor balcony in Peckham, South London.
A witness saw a group of 10-15 black males and one girl, aged around 16-18 carrying a dog with severe bloody injuries. The dog was heard whimpering and sounded in pain and in distress.
The youths were seen entering Sidmouth House, Lympstone Gardens, Peckham. They went to the top floor and walked onto the communal balcony where they threw the dog over the balcony onto the concrete pavement floor below.
They then came down, picked up the dog and threw it into a big metal bin before running off.
The dog's dead body was recovered by the police who took it to a nearby vet and called the RSPCA.
The dog is an un-neutered male, brindle. He was slightly underweight and had puncture wounds in the left and right facial cheeks - probably bite wounds caused by dog fighting. He had old scars over his rib cage and both ears.
Anyone who saw the incident or who has any information on the youths is asked to contact the RSPCA in confidence on 0300 1234 999
