A masked robber who killed a couple's Norfolk terrier during a violent mugging in which he also ripped a watch from the male victim's arm is being hunted by police.
The thug was pushing his bicycle on a pavement in Westminster, central London, when he attacked the couple, a 56-year-old man and his wife, 36, while they were walking their two dogs in August.
In a violent struggle, the thug ripped the man's watch from his forearm, causing scratches.
After trying to intervene to get the robber off of her husband, the woman was aggressively pushed to the floor and landed on one of her dogs, Rufus, which died shortly afterwards.
