IT COULD have been a scene out of a hor­ror film. But the grainy CCTV foot­age from inside a run-down office block in Hack­ney, east Lon­don, is ter­ri­fy­ingly real. At 10.22pm on April 17, a man is seen drag­ging a goat by its 12in horns through a set of double doors. The animal is clearly in dis­tress, a rope trail­ing from its neck. A second man fol­lows car­ry­ing a fol­ded metal cage.

Six hours later at 4.31am the two men are seen leav­ing the room. There is no sign of the goat. Well, no sign of it alive. For one of the two men is car­ry­ing a heavy bin bag while the second has a see-through plastic box con­tain­ing what looks sus­pi­ciously like a set of goat horns.

What on earth happened in that room?
