Police say an Illinois grandmother went to murderous extremes to teach her grandchildren a lesson.

Josephine Bell is accused of killing her grandchild's cat and four kittens.

The grandmother killed the animals with a hammer and then stuck them in a brown paper bag in the freezer, police say.

When her 13-year-old granddaughter went to get a snack, she found her beloved pets.

Bell confessed to the killing and told police she did it because the children would not clean their rooms.
