In short:
British backpacker Bradley Gavin Knoesen, 31, has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges in Western Australia.
Knoesen, who is in Australia on a working holiday visa, drowned a kelpie before beating it to death.
What’s next?
Knoelsen has avoided an immediate jail term but is likely to be deported from Australia.
Drugs could be it. I’m also thinking a manic episode, where you don’t know what’s real but are consumed by one irrational thought that made sense at the time
