Arrested: Darrell Mowat, 28, allegedly dismembered a large horse
A man has been arrested for severing a horse's head in what police have described as a 'bizarre and senseless' killing.
Darrell Mowat, 28, allegedly dismembered a large horse and left the head in the rear of a pickup truck belonging to an associate.
However, police said the killing was more likely to be 'a gruesome and ill-conceived prank' rather than a true threat along the lines of the infamous horse's head scene in The Godfather movie.
It is believed the horse, a two-year-old Percheron large workhorse named Joe, would have endured much pain and suffering in the killing, reports the Niagara Falls Review.
Mowat of Niagara Falls, Canada has been charged with breaking, entering and killing cattle, willfully causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal.
Niagara Regional Police were called after the remains were spotted in the back of a truck in the Falls on Wednesday morning.
Staff Sgt. Michael Woods told the Review that their investigation led them to a farm in the rural south end of Niagara Falls on Thursday night, where they found the dismembered carcass of a horse.
The head belonged to a two-year-old Percheron large workhorse, similar to the one pictured, named Joe (file photo)
