'Mummified' dogs found at home in 'heartbreaking' case
Western Mail
|March 10, 2026
A WOMAN has been banned from keeping animals for life after her three pet dogs were found "mummified" at her home because she did not feed them or provide them with any water for a prolonged period of time, a court heard.
-
Last July, RSPCA Cymru Inspector Simon Evans attended a house in Bettws, Newport. In the garden he found kennels containing the bodies of three French Bulldogs named Precious, Destiny and Diamond.
Jamila Michaela Diane Fletcher-Oates, aged 42, of Dart Road, Bettws, told Inspector Evans that the dogs had been dead for some months but she had not removed their bodies as she had been grieving the death of her wife.
She confirmed that none of the dogs had received any vet treatment prior to their deaths. The remains of one of the dogs was found wrapped in three bags, while the other two were discovered in a small travel cage.
