A cat killer convicted using DNA evidence was slapped with a six-year sentence Wednesday - and will likely soon be deported.
The Brooklyn judge lashed into Trinidadian immigrant Angelo Monderoy, who said he torched his super's beloved tabby, Tommy Two Times, out of boredom.
"To torture and kill an animal because you were bored?" Justice Michael Gary asked in bitter bewilderment. "There's no way the world should not know what Mr. Monderoy did here."
A jury found that Monderoy and his friend grabbed Tommy Two Times, took him to an abandoned apartment in their Crown heights tenement, doused him with lighter fluid and lit him afire in the 2008 attack.
"This was not a whim, not a fleeting decision in a teenager's mind," said prosecutor Josh Charlton.
The guilty verdict in March marked the first time DNA evidence led to a conviction in an animal abuse case in the history of the state and possibly the nation - Tommy was found badly burned outside the tenement and investigators were able to trace the crime back to Monderoy's lair.
That evidence also helped bring more serious burglary charges, for which Monderoy, 20, got two to six years upstate. He also received the max of two years for aggravated animal abuse and up to four years for arson, all running concurrently.
