ATLANTA -- Two Atlanta brothers are in custody at the Fulton County jail charged with the torture death of a five-month old puppy and trashing a local apartment complex.

Seventeen-year old Joshua Molder and 18-year old Justin Molder are being held without bond.

The Molder brothers stand accused of covering a puppy with paint, hog tying it, trying to set it on fire and when that didn't work, baking the puppy to death in an oven.

Inez Marshal is president of the community association at the Englewood Manor Apartments in southeast Atlanta where Joshua and Justin Molder lived.

She was called to the rec center the night the brothers were arrested for breaking into the newly remodeled building and trashing it.

“They just totally demolished the community center,” said Marshal.

She said she’ll never forget finding the puppy the boys stand accused of torturing and killing.

“He was still in the oven; he was tied,” said Marshal.

“All four feet were tied together, his mouth was duct taped and he was dipped in beige paint,” she added.

"Not only did they not have an explanation, apparently they went out and bragged about this to other young people in the community, brought them back and showed them their work," said District Attorney Paul Howard.

The Moulder brothers are charged with burglary, criminal damage to property and aggravated cruelty to animals.
