After a member of their family was brutally murdered in Madison Heights, a family from Oakland County is in grief since the tragedy.
When Robert Cavanaugh was attacked, his family members stated that he was attempting to save a dog.
The individual under suspicion has been taken into custody by the police.
It was well known that Cavanaugh saved animals, and he lived in a mobile home park in Madison Heights.
He was attempting to save a dog that was being mistreated by its owner on Christmas Eve, according to his family, who are inconsolable over the man’s death.
One of his sisters, Jane Thompson, is still in a state of disbelief. Her brother was discovered dead in the middle of the street where they were walking.
His family was informed that his injuries were so serious that they were unable to see him when they went to the medical examiner’s office and identified his remains.
It has been alleged that Cavanaugh was tortured to death with a pipe after he intervened in the situation of a vulnerable puppy that was being abused by its owner.
His family found out that the suspect had previously served 20 years in jail for a big crime and another 10 years for a different crime after the neighbor of Cavanaugh was taken into custody. They feel that his history of violent behavior was widely known and that he should have never been allowed to be freed from prison.
The suspect is still being held in custody pending charges, and the family of Cavanaugh is now responsible for dealing with the costs associated with the funeral.
