Joshua Moulder, 17, and Justin, 19, pleaded guilty to charges including burglary, criminal damage to property, terroristic threats and cruelty to children. The brothers brought neighborhood children to see the dead puppy, then threatened to kill them if they reported it.

The dead puppy was found inside an oven at an apartment community centre. Scratch marks were also found inside the oven, which proves the puppy had been alive when it was placed inside.
