Pet hamster beaten, killed by 19-year-old Brooklyn woman Monique Smith; suspect arrested
A Brooklyn teen was busted for killing her brother's pet hamster in a family feud after he killed her hamster, officials and relatives said Wednesday.
Monique Smith, 19, slammed her brother's pet to the ground in front of her horrified siblings in June, officials said.
Her mother said Smith took her rage out on the helpless critter after learning her brother had just killed her pet by kicking an exercise ball in which the cuddly creature was playing.
