A gruesome discovery at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) has stirred public outcry after a kitten was found dead with its body dismembered near student accommodation.
The incident, which reportedly happened between April 18 and 19, took place around Kolej Allamanda’s Kafe Merah area.
An independent animal rescuer received an anonymous tip-off about a kitten found in a severely mutilated state.
Shortly after, another animal, believed to be a rat, was also found nearby in similar condition.
In an official statement on April 20, UNIMAS said it had completed an internal investigation through its security department.
The probe included CCTV footage, eyewitness interviews, and photographic evidence.
Based on their findings, the university concluded that no elements of abuse or human involvement were detected.
They urged the campus community to remain vigilant and continue safeguarding stray animals within the university grounds.
On April 21, 2025, the animal rescuer provided an update stating that a former UNIMAS student had officially filed a police report regarding the kitten’s death.
Authorities are now expected to begin looking into the matter.
