A man was urinated on, forced to eat cat faeces from a litter box and then left for dead in the snow, police say.

Delvin Mendoza-Chaperro was brutally beaten and left dying in an alleyway off a street in Milwaukee on 19 December.

Three videos showing the 19-year-old bruised and bloody were allegedly posted to his own account on the instant messaging Snapchat site.

Branden Katzfey, 19, his brother Devin Katzfey, and friend Sarah Zakzesky, are all charged with first-degree reckless homicide.

“It was horrible,” said Mr Mendoza-Chaparro’s mother Iris Chaparro.

“They showed me his photo and I couldn’t even go to the morgue to identify him.”

Ms Zakzesky told police, according to fox6now.com, that the beating started after a night of smoking marijuana at her apartment.

Brenden accused Mr Mendoza-Chaparro of attempting to steal a bong and pipe and his brother claimed he attempted to steal his phone.

Devin is accused of hitting the victim in the face and head 25 times during a beating that reportedly lasted for up to 15 minutes.

In a Snapchat video, being used as evidence, Devin is believed to be heard saying: “Look, look look: Delvin getting [urinated] on.”

Branden apparently admitted to investigators he “urinated on Mendoza-Chaparro while he lay near a kitty litter box” and his brother Devin “forced Mendoza-Chaparro to eat cat litter and faeces from the litter box”.

The trio are not charged with murder because Mr Mendoza-Chaparro appeared to still be alive in the final Snapchat video, in which one man is heard saying: “Don’t ever come and steal. You know who this is. This is Superman.”

The trio are in custody after court appearances over the last week.
