A pet shelter called Snarl had even published the profile of the suspect: a white man of about 40 years and 1.8 meters in height. But London police said Thursday that the culprits are most likely not human.

British police investigated the mysterious death of some 400 cats in London for three years, and ended up concluding that the culprit is not a macabre serial killer, or at least not a human, but predators, possibly foxes.
The mutilated remains of hundreds of cats and other small animals, such as rabbits, were found in the Croydon neighborhood and other areas near the south of the British capital since 2015.
The horrified neighbors had accused a mysterious character, in the style of Jack the Ripper. He was nicknamed the "Croydon Cat Slayer" and was believed to have enjoyed butchering the animals and leaving his remains near the schools or homes of his masters.

"After a thorough examination of the available evidence, the agents, who work with experts, concluded that hundreds of mutilations of cats reported in Croydon or other places were not the work of a human and are apparently the result of predators or wild scavengers," affirmed the metropolitan police.
