Newly released photos by the RSPCA have revealed the horrific conditions inside a Bexleyheath home where multiple dogs were found emaciated—alongside the bodies of two puppies and an adult dog.
The disturbing images emerged following the sentencing of Kriss Kesson, 60, who pleaded guilty to four counts of causing unnecessary suffering to animals. In April, he received a 30-week suspended prison sentence and a 10-year ban on keeping dogs.
What Officers Found Inside the Property
On February 28, 2024, RSPCA officers accompanied by police entered Kesson’s home on Rydal Drive, Bexleyheath. Prosecutor Joel Wootten told Woolwich Crown Court that four living dogs—three Rhodesian Ridgebacks and one Dalmatian—were found in a severely emaciated condition, with visible ribs, hip bones, and signs of prolonged suffering.
Animal welfare advocates have called for stricter enforcement and longer bans in cases of extreme neglect.
