The bizarre killing and mutilation of a horse, its head severed and dumped outside a home in Ontario, ``defies explanation,'' a police official said Friday.
After initially characterizing the incident in a news release as an apparent ``gruesome and ill-conceived prank,'' police later qualified the statement to say they were treating the incident as a ``serious criminal offence.''
On Wednesday morning, Niagara Regional Police officers were called to a home where the severed horse's head had been discarded in plain sight in the bed of a pick-up truck parked in the driveway.
The next day, detectives were led to a farm in rural Niagara Falls where they found the rest of the two-year-old horse.
