TWO investigations have been launched after two horses were fatally shot on the Cork/Limerick border in a horrific incident. Kilmallock Gardai are investigating after a coloured horse was found shot dead lying on the road in Glenanaar, Ardpatrick, Kilmallock and a wounded pregnant mare was found dying in a nearby field.

Another frantic but uninjured animal was removed from the scene and is now being cared for by the ISPCA.
