WARNING: Distressing A former private school student faced court on Monday after allegedly beating a puppy that later died near Newcastle on Sunday afternoon. Police have charged Cooper Owens, 21, with committing an act of aggravated cruelty upon an animal, and torturing, beating and seriously injuring an animal after he allegedly took a puppy out of his vehicle in a carpark in Sandgate, and began slamming it against the side of his car.
