A woman faces felony charges after police said she killed her roommate's pet ferret by cooking it in an oven.Police arrived at the third-floor corner apartment at 80 Lowell St. in Manchester just after 2:30 a.m. Wednesday after smoke caused residents to evacuate.>> Download the FREE WMUR appFirefighters found a dead ferret in the oven in the apartment, police said."Upon arrival they spoke with the fire department, who in turn advised them that they had found a deceased pet inside one of the ovens, which caused the smoke alarm in the first place," Manchester Police Lt. Brian O'Keefe said.Police said the owners of the dead ferret, James Klimavich and Cara Murray, identified Ivana Clifford, 26, as the person who killed their pet. They told police Clifford was staying with them temporarily.The couple told officials they saw Clifford exit the apartment when they were woken by smoke.Clifford was charged with one count of animal cruelty. She appeared in Hillsborough County Superior Court just after her arrest, where the judge said Clifford did this in retaliation for one of the other residents "stealing her clothing."Manchester police also said Clifford told them she is pregnant and didn't think her roommate should have a ferret because of that."These allegations display a profound sense of sadism. That is of deep concern to this court," Judge Gillian Abramson said. "And for that reason, I am setting bail in the amount of $10,000 cash only. I will not release her to the Elliot or Catholic Medical Center."The defense argued that Clifford had no prior record and wouldn't be a risk to the public, adding that the defendant's husband was asking the court for no incarceration time due to a special circumstance.“He is very concerned for her health and her welfare, and being incarcerated because she is 32 weeks pregnant, your honor,” defense attorney Callan Maynard said.Clifford's husband, James Clifford, told News 9 by phone that he hadn't heard the full story, but doesn't think she's violent.“And all my friends have cats and dogs. She's never hurt an animal in her life, and I don't think she would do it,” he said.Murray and Klimavich are holding their other two ferrets tightly after the gruesome discovery.“I don't understand why she would do such a thing,” said Cara Murray. “It's disturbing. It's emotional. It's sick. She's a sick, twisted girl.”“Our youngest ferret, Angel, was in the oven, dead,” said James Klimavich.The couple said they opened their doors to Clifford and her husband a few weeks ago, and that Clifford put the ferret in the oven because she was upset that the animal bit her.Klimavich and Murray said they are heartbroken over the death of their pet.“I don't understand people anymore,” Murray said. “I don't understand. I really don't.”Building officials said maintenance changed out the entire oven in the apartment.
