An immigrant cat killer convicted using DNA evidence has been slapped with a six-year sentence and will likely soon be deported

Trinidadian immigrant Angelo Monderoy said he torched his super's cat, Tommy Two Times, out of boredom. A jury found that Monderoy and his friend grabbed Tommy Two Times, took him to an abandoned apartment in their Crown heights tenement, doused him with lighter fluid and lit him on fire in the 2008 attack. The guilty verdict marked the first time that DNA evidence led to a conviction in an animal abuse case in the history of New York State and possibly the nation. Tommy was found badly burned outside the tenement and investigators were able to trace the crime back to Monderoy's lair. That evidence also helped bring more serious burglary charges, for which Monderoy, 20, got two to six years upstate. He also received the max of two years for aggravated animal abuse and up to four years for arson, all running concurrently. Because he's been jailed for more than two years awaiting trial, he's already eligible for parole, but will likely face deportation once out of prison, officials said.
