'Follow me on Twitter or I'll break my dog's neck': Obsessed One Direction fan 'kills pet Chihuahua' after tweet goes unanswered by the band... but it was all a hoax

Message came with image of dog being pinned to the floor by its throat

When band did not respond, she posted picture of 'her with dead dog'

Other images reportedly from her site show animals in blenders and a small child tied up with similar threats to kill them



1D fans brand her a 'psycho' but it was revealed to be a hoax

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 .

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:

Each comes with similar messages threatening to kill them if the boy band didn't follow her on Twitter.

Fans of the band, known as 'Directioners', branded her a 'psycho', with one setting up a petition on Change.org demanding she be imprisoned which now has around 3,000 signatures.
