Obsessed One Direction fan 'kills pet Chihuahua' after tweet goes unanswered by the band

A One Direction fan reportedly killed her pet Chihuahua in a fit of rage because the British boy band did not respond to requests to follow her on Twitter.
The woman sent a desperate tweet to the five singers from her @illumivato account two weeks ago saying: 'Follow me or I'll break my dog's neck'.
The post was accompanied by a picture showing someone pinning a dog to the ground by its throat.
Several days later, she wrote directly to band member Liam Payne on the social networking site to say: 'I love you. Follow me. My dog has just died.'
She added a picture that she claimed showed her crying as she cradled a dead dog, it was reported by the New York Daily News.
Followers of the band branded her a 'psycho', with one setting up a petition on Change.org demanding she be removed from Twitter.

Mya Fhya, who set up the petition, said: 'I want this person to be imprisoned! She is a threat to society!'
The case has been widely reported by the Spanish and South American media, but the woman's name and location have not been revealed.
The @illumivato account has since been suspended.

One Direction has not yet commented on the incident.
