Police in Winnipeg have laid dozens of new charges in the case of a man and woman accused of torturing and killing animals and posting the images online.

Irene Lima, 55, and Chad Kabecz, 40, were arrested last month and accused of killing or torturing about 10 cats for content on the dark web.

Police said Wednesday they have since searched electronic devices and found evidence that more than 75 animals were filmed or photographed being tortured and killed, in some cases with a sexual component.
