Richard Coyle who served two years in jail in 2006 after killing a friend (Manslaughter) with whom he shared an address is wanted again by police, after breaking his license conditions.

His vile crime this time is torturing a hedgehog by cutting off its legs while it was still alive and covering its face and eyes with molten wax.

The animal had to be put down and RSPCA staff described it as one of the worst cases they had ever seen.

Coyle is thought to have links with the Caerphilly and Swansea areas, although could be on the run in any part of South Wales.

If you have any information as Coyle’s current whereabouts, call Gwent Police on 101 quoting reference number 2000462965, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
