MEL B’s husband Stephen Belafonte battered a duck to death in a sickening incident.
When asked about the senseless attack, Stephen said: “Apparently I killed a duck.”
It’s one of many shocking incidents that have come to light since it was revealed the former Spice Girl was filing for divorce.
Stephen’s shady past made him unpopular with Mel’s family and the singer became estranged from her mother, Andrea, and sister, Danielle, after they married in 2007.
Six years later he was accused of assaulting two men on a motorway.
The charge was reduced to vandalism after he agreed to pay for damage to their vehicle.
