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.
But with millions of tweets being sent to their account everyday, the group very likely did not spot the message and it went ignored.
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.
It was all later revealed to be a sick hoax.
MailOnline discovered the picture of the girl with the dead dog was first posted onto the internet in June - two months before she claims to have threatened to kill it:
