An artist has stirred up a frenzy on social media after executing a cockroach in a mini electric chair.

Sculptor Gabriel Tuazon snared the pest when it flew in through a window at his home in Pasig, Philippines, yesterday morning.

He spent two hours rigging up a mini wooden chair connected to battery wires and a light bulb before strapping the roach down with a metal lid on its head.

Gabriel then filmed himself flicking the switch to send a current through the insect's body which began twitching as the electricity killed it.

But the artist was branded a torturer by commentators online who condemned the stunt as animal cruelty.

Kristina Abatayo said: 'Son of a b****, ew poor thing.'

Manuel Malingo wrote: 'How can anybody think that this is acceptable. Every living creature has feelings. This is animal cruelty and it should not be allowed.'

After the incident, an unrepentant Tuazon placed the cockroach in a 'coffin' - an old matchbox


He said: 'I was supposed to hit it with an object, but felt gross at the idea because I might dirty my working table'

Josef Dasco commentated: 'We're so cruel to other animals. Good thing we turned out to be humans. But what if we became the cockroaches?'

Despite the backlash, Gabriel was unrepentant about the electrocution.

He said: 'I opened my window because it was hot and the cockroach came in. He wasn't supposed to come inside.

'It all started when a cockroach entered my room. I was supposed to hit it with an object, but felt gross at the idea because I might dirty my working table.

'I trapped it alive using a plastic. And so the ideas came pouring in.'
