MAN ACCUSED OF BEING SERIAL CAT KILLER

A downtown graphic designer is accused by animal control officials of methodically murdering his girlfriend’s cats.

Alleged kitty killer Sean Lynde, 36, faces felony animal cruelty charges and a slew of misdemeanors over the deaths of five of his former lover’s felines.

He turned himself into the 9th Precinct in the East Village today for booking.

He did not respond to e-mails from The Post after he was released by the cops.

Investigators from the ASPCA say he beat the cats to death while living with his girlfriend from October through December last year.

After the cats would die the unsuspecting girlfriend would adopt more cats which he would them kill, officials said.

Lynde moved out in early 2009 but was later charged with harassing his ex.

He describes himself as a freelance graphic designer on his Web site and used to be roadie for the Boston-based pop band Guster.
