A woman has pleaded guilty to abusing her pet marmoset, including offering cocaine to the primate and attempting to flush it down the toilet.

A court heard how Vicki Holland was aggressive towards the primate, which is native to tropical forests in Central and South America. The monkey's treatment was shown to the RSPCA after videos were discovered on Holland's phone by Gwent police after a drug raid at her home.
