Sentencing hearing for Calgary man in animal abuse case delayed another month

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Feb, 2015 10:25 AM

CALGARY — More time is needed to complete a psychiatric assessment of a Calgary man who used Kijiji to find pets he methodically abused, starved and killed.

Nicolino Camardi, 19, has been in custody since he was arrested in May.

He pleaded guilty in December to two charges of wilfully causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.

Court heard this morning that Camardi's psychiatric assessment is not yet complete so his sentencing hearing is now rescheduled for March 23.

The Calgary Humane Society began investigating last month when a starved dog was found dead in a back alley with tape around its muzzle.

A dead cat was found in the same area a week later with green painter's tape covering most of its face.
